Etching with
on fine wove paper backed with a support sheet providing wide margins.

washi paper.
I am selling
this small, sparklingly luminous impression for AU$222 in total (currently US$153.56/EUR137.59/GBP114.79
at the time of posting this print) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and
handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes
imposed by some countries. Note that payment is in Australian dollars (AU$222)
as this is my currency.
If you are
interested in purchasing this little jewel of an etching that (to my eyes) captures the spirit of the time in which it was
executed—viz. a fascination with the effects of light (Impressionism); a love
of rural subject matter (Barbizon School); a free use of the etching needle
(Etching Revival)—please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will
send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
Note that
this is the second copy of this very beautiful etching that has been listed.
The previous impression has been sold.
