Artwork Description:
This intimate treasure on paper was hand printed and published by myself at The Center for Works on Paper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Please note that this etching is shipped to the collector without a frame or mat. This keeps the price low and allows the collector personal choice in matt selection and framing. A sturdy cardboard box is employed for shipping the work. The etching is first wrapped in two layers of acid free glassine and then placed between two archival boards. This is next placed into the shipping carton and securely packed with bubble wrap. The Absolute Arts Dot Com price includes all handling costs, shipment supplies, and the coast of the shipment box. Mailing costs are added. This print was made by using a variety of plate techniques including intaglio, dry point, and aquatint. It is from the second edition, which used a blend of violet and blue inks , oil base from Paris, printed on Magnani Pescia, Italian grey paper, manufactured from a paper mill that dates back over 400 years. The size of the paper measures fifteen inches wide by eleven inches high.
