I am selling
this small and exceptionally beautiful drypoint by an artist known for the
technical brilliance of his drypoint prints for a total cost of AU$216 (currently
US$165.25/EUR140.39/GBP119.99 at the time of this listing) including
Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of
course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
If you are
interested in purchasing this small masterwork of drypoint capturing in the
space of a coffee bean the pensive expression of an elegant young lady as her
mindset drifts upon receiving what I assume is a bouquet of flowers on her lap—note
the artist’s technical wizardry in suggesting the silky sheen of the lady’s
gown … and her amazing wasp waist!—please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com)
and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
