Original David Charles Read etching.
Brilliant working proof impression in the first state of the plate. A truly exceptional example of one of Read’s finest nocturnal landscape studies.Working proofs of David Charles Read’s etchings as so rare as to be virtually unknown.
A sparklingly bright impression, prior to considerable cross-hatching throughout the plate and prior to all of the foreground reeds. In this early working state the image displays a beautiful clarity which is not found in normal impressions.
On firm warm white wove paper, with thread margins, as prepared by the artist himself. Generally very fine original condition. |
