A rare aquatint from a little known artist whose paintings rarely come up for auction. An original etching which is bright and unfaded. A fine, sharp impression in coloured inks with excellent detail, the image measuring approximately 24 cms. x 19 cms.

Unmounted and unframed, blank on the reverse, the condition of the image and sheet is good with the title having been added to the lower left corner and handling marks condusive with age.
