This John Haymson handcolored pen and ink print, "Calcutta Street Scene", was apparently drawn in the 1940s, as the vintage of the bus in the scene indicates. The print shows the assemblage of people in both motorized and non-motorized vehicles attempting to make their way through one of Calcutta, India's narrow streets. The image extends to the red retro frame and is 9 x 12 inches.<p>

This is an older print which looks original. Despite my research, I have been unable to locate another copy of this print and assume that it is not published at this time, which adds to its value.<p>

(For a bit of history: John Haymson was both a fine artist and an illustrator of watercolors within architectural settings, which is why many of his works show scenes encircled by vignetted trees. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1902 and began his art early.<p>

Studying at the renowned Academy of Fine Art in Vienna, he worked with Luigi Kasimir, one of the modern master etchers, and became his protogee. He also studied stage and costume design with Max Reinhart in Salzburg. He lectured in art and aesthetics at museums and colleges and conducted student group excursions to Europe and Mexico for sketching classes. His works often shows scenes through Europe, Asia, and American, in cities and public squares, or scenes of typical activities of people in a location.)
