Description
Vertical wood engraving print centers on a winged, long-haired figure crowned with small flowers, one arm raised to offer up a bright red heart while a dove nestles against the chest below. The figure stands over a tangle of military hardware — a rifle, ammunition belt, helmet, boots, and what reads as a grenade — rendered in dense, fine-line black and white engraving typical of mid-century social-commentary printmaking. The image is printed within a rounded-corner black border, with ’72 worked into the upper right and a small cross-and-arrows glyph in the lower corner. Signature/marking present as shown; attribution not verified. Inquire for details.
The print carries a pencil signature beneath the image reading in a flowing hand, along with the printed date ’72 within the composition itself. It is presented with a cream inner mat and wider charcoal-gray outer mat, set inside a slim silver-tone inner frame and outer moulded black frame, glazed under glass. A second, partial framed piece is visible at the base of the grouping in both photographs, suggesting this artwork is displayed alongside a companion print or panel.
Glass and mat are clean with no visible foxing, staining, or creasing on the exposed sheet, and the paper reads bright and even in tone. Frame corners and moulding show no chips or separation in the photographs, and the red heart accent remains vivid with no fading apparent.
