About the Item
The Matador. 1911. Drypoint. Hardie 109. 6 7/8 x 10 7/8 (sheet 7 7/8 x 12). Edition 15. A few scattered foxing marks and slight mat line; otherwise fine original condition. A rich impression with drypoint burr printed on antique laid paper. Signed and dedicated 'To James Greig' in ink. Housed in a 16 x 20-inch archival mat.
The bullfight series was one of the artist's early successes, bringing him local and international acclaim.
Hardie writes: "The tired bull faces the matador, who stands with the flag in his left hand and a sword upraised in his right hand, waiting for his opportunity for the final thrust. A group of toreros to the right."

James McBey
Born in Aberdeenshire, James McBey was a self-taught artist and etcher, best known for his prints, which coincided with an etching revival in the 20th century. After training himself in various techniques, in 1911 he gained an exhibition opportunity at the Goupil Gallery, London. From this point on his prints were published in London and Glasgow. During the First World War McBey was appointed official war artist to the Palestine Expeditionary Force. McBey's work is held in a variety of galleries across the UK and beyond, with Aberdeen Art Gallery holding the vast majority.
