Featured Print of a Gibson Girl? signed James(?) Fagan - help!

Does look like the same siggie.

 

Could be, or just a pretty model.

 

She is called a Gibson Girl, because of Charles Dana Gibson.

 

Yes, you can call her a Gibson Girl or Gibson Girl-style if you prefer. Or you may can call her an American Beauty if you want to avoid the association with Gibson.

Apologies, I cannot help you further, but want to say how attractive this is and the frame is beautiful too.

 

They do suit each other, don't they? Only thought... Frame is a tad large for print.

I am fine with the size of the frame in comparison to the vignette-ness of the print.
Think it balances it off nicely.
I like the print and the frame very much!

 

I'm fine with it too. It's been in that frame for a long time.

She's probably been there from the jump, so I'd be fine leaving well enough alone.

That might lead to search results for hybrid tea roses and drown out the pretty ladyp picture.

 

Yes, certainly agree hard to search. But genuine term.

This brief biography of James Fagan states that he died in 1918. It gives no source for that information, but could be correct.

James Fagan, born in 1864, was an American Etcher that worked in a realistic style. He favored naturalistic scenes of everyday life like people milling about, men working, and families interacting. Fagan was also interested in classical subjects, choosing to depict heroes from Greece and Rome as well as people in robes and classical dress. A well traveled man, he also created scenes from places like Cuba and the Netherlands. Fagan died in 1918. https://davidbarnettgallery.com/artist/james-fagan

 

I wonder is he had creative say in framing? Note, the frame's corner decorations match the flower in her hair. I like when they do stuff like that.

 

open edition etching.....

 

Yes, it does! Good eyes. Charming detail.
