Artwork Description:

FULL TITLE is Give Him Coffee, And With Those Words Lorca Vanished OR Cries In Granada. The studio techniques I used are intaglio, aquatint, and drypoint. The etching was done in a nitric acid bath, and this work required eight separate baths per plate. The color for this edition is a blend of five different ones, including a metallic gold. The paper used is Rives BFK white. I used two zinc metal plates for this “etched diptych” each plate measured seven inches high by five inches widecm x cm with the small separating space between the left and right plate, the image size measures slightly over seven-inches high by ten-inches wide. Please note that this etching is shipped to the buyer without a frame or mat. This keeps the price reasonable and also allows the collector a wide range of choice in framing selection. For shipment, a sturdy cardboard box is employed. 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 box and securely packed with bubble wrap. The price does not include any shipment costs.
