Theodore Casimir Roussel (French, 1847-1926), The Reader, Lamplight, inscribed to 'Hetty' (Pettigrew) and signed with initials verso, lithograph, 23 by 19cm, framed. Note: Harriet Selina Pettigrew (1867-1953) commonly known as 'Hetty' Pettigrew was a prominent model in the London art world of the late 19th Century. She had a close relationship with the French painter Theodore Roussel who she met in 1884 and frequently modelled for him. It seems likely this print was a gift from the artist to his model and muse. Provenance: with Abbott & Holder, London
