Condition: a strong impression in an excellent condition with no
tears, stains or foxing.
I am selling this superb etching of a resting hunting hound (based
on its collar and mindful that Reinhart was a keen hunter), but still very
alert (judging from its watchful eye), for the total cost of AU$276 (currently
US$188.52/EUR177.42/GBP156.21 at the time of 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 spectacularly fine etching of
a dog—note the touch of a master artist to visually “explain” the
form of the dog and, importantly, the subtle play of its muscles under the skin—please
contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal
invoice to make the payment easy.
