Signed in pencil on the bottom and pencil marking of 38-75, and an engraved lined monogram of CWB, the scene shows two dancing ladies holding their skirts off to the sides, a man in the darker upper right corner with a drum and 3 seated men in the back left quadrant with oriental style musical instruments wearing turbans. The ladies are wearing partial veils over their hair. Charles W. Bartlett was a well known etcher, woodblock printer and watercolorist who was born in 1860 in Bridport, Dorsetshire, England, lived in New York City, Japan and in Hawaii from 1917 on until his death in 1940. He studied at the Royal Academy in London, Salon des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was exhibited at the Royal Academy, Salon of Beaux-Arts, Charles Cooke Home in Honolulu, The Art Institute of Academy, often choosing subjects from China and India, which appears to be the subject matter here. The musicians appear to be Indian and the drummer could very well be Indian or close in location. The etching is glued to a matboard, measures some 11 3/4" long by 7 7/8" tall plus the borders. The condition appears to be excellent and is very dark. There is no frame. If exotic subjects and places have an interest to you, this is definately one of mystery. The etching lines are evident in the folds of the womens clothing and the instruments that are being played by the musicians. This artwork has been owned by a former diplomat who worked in the far East and returned to East Tenn., to become an attorney.
