Kenton Nelson’s Have Some Pity on an Easterner, Left and Right were a diptych he created in 1997. We have been authorized to release this small edition of only 16 prints of each travel-themed image, so they are very rare and special. Warm, rich colors, and the classic architecture of this train station create a moment frozen in time. Like many of Nelson’s works, this one tells a story…
Image size 14 x 14 inches
Total print size 19 x 19 inches
Train station
Hand signed by the artist
Limited edition of 16
Unframed, ships flat in custom case

Edition is now sold out. However, we will offer a couple of the artist proofs for sale. They are identical to the edition but will say “AP” instead of a number in the lower left corner underneath the image. Please contact us with any additional questions.
From the artist’s perspective: “These were some of my first figurative paintings, and they are about unrequited love. The main characters are on time, but there has been a confusion as to transportation. In the left panel, the serviceman represents a new possibility of relationship, and in the second panel, the man checks his watch, to avoid temptation. The title was taken from a line of a Gershwin song. The art director of The New Yorker saw the second image in my portfolio, and it became my first cover for the magazine, in 1999.” -Kenton Nelson
