I am selling
this visually arresting etching executed with great vitality, for the
total cost of AU$247 (currently US$168.89/EUR158.77/GBP141.44 at the time of
posting this listing) including 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 amazing etching where every feature in the
background adds to the tension of the tigers fighting—note, for example, how
the bamboo thicket on the right provides the suggestion of resistance to the
thrust of the sloping ground and the angle of the leaning trees on the left—please
contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal
invoice to make the payment easy.
