For sale a drypoint etching signed by Yngve Edward Soderberg titled "DOWN SOUTH" --home with African- American man, woman, and child. What I assume to be the title, "DOWN SOUTH", is written on the lower left corner of the presentation mat. The print shows a Southern scene with a man sitting on the porch, a woman probably doing a wash, and a young child standing nearby. There is moss hanging from the palms or palmettos. It has in pencil lower left " ED. 85" and lower right "Yngve Edward Soderberg". The image is about 8" x 9" and the sheet is 11.5" x 16". The print has never been framed and is in excellent condition--it is attached to the backing with tape at the upper two corners. The color of the printing paper is a light cream--not the white shown in my photos. Yngve Edward Soderberg (1896 - 1971) Born in Chicago, Illinois, Yngve Edward Soderberg was an American watercolorist, etcher, and printmaker. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. He was a WPA muralist whose work can be seen at the U. S.
