Pansies

Pansies (mezzotint) by Wako Ito depicts a cluster of large pansy blossoms in white, pink, and deep red-black against a solid blue ground, their petals veined with fine dark lines radiating from black centers. Pale green leaves and stems fill in around the flowers, with a dark vase or container just visible at the base. The print is pencil-signed by the artist and numbered 65/300 in the lower margin.
