Description

Signed and numbered PP1 4 in pencil, coloured lithograph.
Printer s Proof from the personal archive of Stanley Jones.
In late 2001 and early 2002, Rego worked with Stanley Jones at the Curwen Studio. She produced a series of 25 lithographs based on Charlotte Bronte s Jane Eyre.

Rego has commented:
This one I did on film. It s the least satisfying way of working, because everything looks at first as if it s just reproduction. Not of course on the finished lithograph, but just when you re doing the drawing. This is the keeper, Grace Poole, looking after Bertha, and Jane just looks in on them. It s a tenderness really. It s about tenderness. Grace is looking after a mad person and Jane is probably envious. Paula Rego & T.G. Rosenthal, Paula Rego The Complete Graphic Work, 2003

Bears the blind stamp for the archive of Stanley Jones.

Framing: 

This lithograph has been lovingly framed by hand in the Goldmark Framing Workshop, in an oak moulding with Luke stain dark, and a neutral wax. Float mounted using conservation mount, with all fully reversible hinges, set back from the glazing with a painted white obeche fillet. It is finished with AR70 non-reflective glazing, which protects the work from 70% of UV rays and gives the image remarkable clarity.
