In this original etching, Ian Armstrong captures his daughter, Margaret. Lovingly observed, this portrait is a charming ode to the relationship a father shares with his daughter.

A close friend and colleague of artists Fred Williams and Harry Rosengrave, Armstrong was a member of the influential George Bell School. His work crossed landscapes, portraiture and still life, united by an intuitive, modernist grasp of form and composition. There is a musicality to Armstrong’s vision, reflective of an artist who pursued his “own peculiar idea of the world, his own way of thinking and feeling.”

Armstrong’s work can be found across public institutions, including at the National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia and Art Gallery of New South Wales. For parents and collectors of prints and Australian modernism, this is a lovely discovery.
