Original Edwin Edwards etching.

Excellent impression with strong etched line.

This etching depicts the famous French artist Henri Fantin-Latour reclining under the willow trees which line the banks of the river Thames at Sunbury. Fantin-Latour was a close friend of Edwin Edwards.

On very fine smooth Japan-style tissue, with full margins. Tipped at corners to original mount and with Edwin Edwards’s original title label. Generally very good original condition.
