This print has also been authenticated by the Peter Howson studio (June 2023). Note 2: Collectors and Howson enthusiasts will be excited by the major retrospective “When the Apple Ripens: Peter Howson at 65" of the work of the artist taking place at the City Arts Centre, Edinburgh and organised by Museums & Galleries Edinburgh from May this year until the beginning of October, bringing together over 100 major works from his early years until the present time. Initial visitor numbers suggest that this exhibition is likely to set new records for a living artist in Scotland. The staging of this exhibition during (and beyond) the Edinburgh International Festival reflects the well documented and longstanding international interest in Peter Howson's work. See ''Peter Howson'' by Robert Heller page 90. Of Howson's ''Nijinsky'' the art critic Peter Jenkins wrote ''Nijinsky I see as an heroic figure: clumsy yet nimble, his macho prance is a dance of defiance; his leaden, booted feet may hold him down but his head is in the clouds, jaw jutting like a dancing bear, he is a noble beast made an object of derision. We may see something of the tragic predicament of the individual in the twilight of the gods''. Heller describes Howson's ''Nijinsky'' as ''vastly powerful''.
