MICHAEL AYRTON [1921-75]. Seated Minotaur. Etching, edition of 75, 10/75. Signed in pencil. This is a very rare Minotaur etching, we haven't seen one for over 20 years and this one, unusually, has the artist's signature in pencil [instead of the usual studio stamp signature]. Unlikely that the whole edition was printed. 39.5 x 44.5 cm [sheet size - image 18 x 29 cm]. Unframed. [good condition - 2 tiny spots on lower left of sheet, well outside image].
KEITH VAUGHAN [1912-77]. Trees, 1942. Pencil and ink wash. Inscribed by artist. Studio stamp initials lower right. 11.5 x 16.2 cm. Provenance: artist's estate; Prof. John Ball collection [friend and big collector of Vaughan's work]; private collection, UK. [good condition - unexamined out of frame].

Literature: illustrated 'Michael Ayrton' by Peter Cannon-Brookes. [very good condition - unexamined out of frame]. Ayrton signed very few of his late etchings [using a studio stamp signature instead], so rare to find one like this with an original signature.
