Item description from seller

Hand-colored aquatint, proof before letters. Marked in pencil "Model OK" in top margin, and dated on verso "Apr. 4 '50 / OK by Mr. Lowe / 27 fin May 3 '50". 17 x 12-3/4 inches (image size) with margins, approx. 18 x 14 inches overall. Fine and interesting colorist's model from a proof before letters, for one of the privately printed thoroughbred portraits commissioned by William Woodward from Frank Lowe, who took over the Derrydale Press from Connett. Black Tarquin would have been painted in 1948 as a winning three-year-old, but the notation on the back of this print seems to indicate that the print was not produced until 1950. The last line would seem to indicate the number of copies finished (27) which is in accordance with what Ordeman reports for these prints (from 10 to 49 copies for those prints where production records are known). With an uncolored example of the finished state of the plate (with wide margins on a full-size sheet). Ordeman p. 109 (misdated to 1948) Hand-colored aquatint, proof before letters. Marked in pencil "Model OK" in top margin, and dated on verso "Apr. 4 '50 / OK by Mr. Lowe / 27 fin May 3 '50". 17 x 12-3/4 inches (image size) with margins, approx. 18 x 14 inches overall.…
