Agony of Defeat tennis limited edition etching

This is a vintage Gary Patterson limited edition, hand-signed etching titled "Agony of Defeat".  Very scarce and difficult to find. 

Because of the demand for Patterson originals and limited editions, Gary developed a series of etching, including this one, back in the early 1970's.  Examples of his etchings were acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.  The collections of etchings shows the insight of Gary's humor and the great empathy he has with those of us faced with the frustrations of our chosen challenge.  With each etching Gary hopes to provoke a bittersweet smile for bygone hours spent on the battlefield-whether courts of tennis, greens of golf or slopes of snow. 

PLEASE NOTE: Image appears white in photo. The etching is cream in color.
