Etching, 1920, edition unknown. 5 1/8 x 9 1/2 in. Signed and dated in the plate, lower left. Signed and titled in pencil and with "#15" and also below in pencil "second state." This is a fine, luminous impression printed on light cream wove paper. The margins are substantial and this is probably the full sheet as issued. Excellent condition. Pearson was one of the earliest printmakers working in New Mexico. He arrived in Taos in 1915 and by 1918 he held an exhibition of some of these prints at the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe. This is a very rare print and is clearly one of the best that he produced there. He was a member of and exhibited with Chicago Society of Etchers, the Art Students League of Chicago, the New York Society of Etchers, the California Art Club, the California Society of Etchers, and the Brooklyn Society of Etchers. His work is represented in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
