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.
