Description

An abstract composition in cool blues, with a dense cluster of fine white-line etching at center suggesting stacked, tower-like architectural or vessel forms with arches, masts, and small windows against a dark inked ground. Pale cream and ochre circular forms, evoking sun-like discs, float in the upper right and lower right corners amid a mottled aquatint sky of soft blue washes and scattered darker blots. The print is signed and numbered in pencil below the image; the title "Jeux Du Soleil; Navires En Mer Egée" and the etching/aquatint/engraving technique support a reading of ships and sunlight on the Aegean Sea, rendered here in a muted, dreamlike palette.
