a pair of guineas (2023)Etchings & engravings
by Mariann Johansen-Ellis

Funny guineas, I never tire of their cheeky antics!

a pair of copperplate etchings, handprinted by me, the artist, with the best etching inks and on a really beautiful piece of warm cream printmaking paper. An etching is a handmade print, from a copperplate made by the artist, to the inking up by the artist, inking has to be done for each and every print, every step of the process involves the artist, which is why etchings are known as Original Prints.

The heavy weight warm cream printmaking paper measures 10" x 13" (25 cm x 33 cm)
and the copperplate, the actual printed image measure, 6" x 9.5",(15cm x 24cm )

I sign, title and number each print.
The etchings are printed in a limited edition of only 60 prints, this means that once the edition is finished, I scratch the copperplate, ensuring that it can't be printed from again.
Please be aware I can't guarantee you get the number in the photo.

I mail your etching protected by many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my reviews.
Thanks for visiting my shop and welcome back,
Mariann
