Description
A captivating slice of 1960s British pop-kitsch history, this authentic mid-century framed print features "The Nymph" (also known as "Water Nymph") by acclaimed English illustrator Joseph Henry Lynch (1911–1989), signed J.H. Lynch in the lower right corner.
Celebrated alongside Vladimir Tretchikoff as a master of dramatic, atmospheric female portraiture, Lynch captured the sultry glamour of the 1960s.
Set against a misty, twilight woodland lagoon, the dark-haired figure with a classic 1960s bouffant hairstyle stands waist-deep in cool blue-green water, rendered in rich, cinematic tones
• Surface & Finish. Produced in the 1960s as a canvas-textured lithograph on board, the surface features fine mechanical embossing designed to replicate the tactile feel of an original oil painting. The colors remain vibrant and crisp with no sun fading.
• Original Framing. Housed in its authentic 1960s/1970s factory frame featuring a warm woven hessian (burlap) fabric liner, a grooved cream inner slip, and a black outer trim.
• Vintage Condition. The artwork itself is in excellent, clean vintage condition. Consistent with its 60-year history, the outer cream frame edge shows a few small cosmetic veneer chips (most notably at the bottom-left corner and left edge—see close-up photos).
• Dimensions. Width 56 cm × Depth 3 cm × Height 77 cm.
