Hirsch, Joseph (American 1910-1981) Attributed. PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN. Ink on paper, unsigned and undated, but circa 1920s-30s (based on the sitter's hairstyle and clothing). 12 x 9 inches. In excellent condition. Hirsch enrolled in the school of the Philadelphia Museum in 1927, and also studied with George Luks in NYC and with Henry Hensche in Provincetown. The attribtuion of the work to Hirsch is based on the fact that his name is inscribed on the mat in which the picture was when we acquired it (retained and provided with the work), the consistency of dating with Hirsch's period as a student, and the consistency of quality between this and his mature work as a painter and printmaker.
