This dry point Intaglio Print is a state proof. A copper plate was brought to a finished state, two state proofs were printed on 20 x 30 inch print paper, and then drastic changes were made to the plate before the edition was ran. The shadows were were smoothed out and introduced on the other side of the barn and out buildings, and the size of the plate was cropped, and the line texture was loosened up. 

As customary with prints, it is not matted or framed. Anyone local desiring to see any art work first hand is welcome to contact me, and I would be happy to arrange a time with you.

Price includes insured shipping within the U.S.

 Intaglio Prints — Clarification for Collectors

Intaglio prints are original works of art, not reproductions.

Each print is:

• Hand-pulled on a press
• Printed from a copper or zinc plate
• The plate is hand engraved using dry point, or etching, techniques.

Editions & Proofs (standard practice)

Numbered Editions
Each impression is signed and numbered (e.g., 3/25), indicating its place within the edition.

PdA (Prova d’Artista / Artist’s Proof)
Marked as such and held outside the numbered edition.

State Proofs
Printed to document changes made to the plate during its development.

Working Proofs
Pulled to measure progress during the engraving process.
These are not finished works and are identified as such.
