Title:	La Marchande Endormie (The Sleeping Merchant)
Artist:	Winkler, John W. 'John Winkler' (Austria, 1894 - San Francisco, 1979)
Date:	1923
Medium:	Original Etching & Drypoint Engraving
Note:	John Winkler 'John W. Winkler': One of the finest American etchers of the early twentieth century, J. W. Winkler was born in Austria but settled in California early in his life. John Winkler studied under Frank van Sloun at the California Institute of Arts and published his first original etching in 1915. During the following eight years he established a large national reputation for his etchings, the great majority being depictions of San Francisco and its environs. By 1923 he had created 88 etchings which were often compared to the work of Whistler, particularly the Whistler etchings found in the 'French Set' and 'Thames Set'. Like Whistler, Winkler had the ability to capture life and movement with the utmost simplicity. One Winkler scholar wrote, "His technique is so eminently suited to all that he wished to express that it has been little modified during these ten years past. He makes no preparatory designs, sketches or tracings; his impatient nature at no time permits of his delaying from attacking the copper once he has found the motive of the composition. All his plates have been etched directly from nature, after long search and careful observation, in the bustle of the streets or amid the coming and going of the passers-by." *
	In 1923, John Winkler moved to Paris and resided in that city until 1930. La Marchande Endormie is one of his most highly regarded Paris etchings. It was both printed and published there by the artist in a limited edition of fifty signed impressions.
	Returning to America, John Winkler became a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Brooklyn Society of Etchers and the American Society of Illustrators. In 1936 he was admitted into the prestigious National Academy of Design. Examples of Winkler's original etchings are included in the collections of the Library of Congress, Washington DC, the Musee du Luxembourg and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the Chicago Art Institute, Boston Public Library, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the San Diego Museum of Art and the New York Public Library. An extensive collection of John Winkler's etchings and engravings (including an impression of La Marchande Endormie) is housed at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
