Description
An exceptional original Hans Richter (1888-1976) etching, created in 1972 and issued in a rare limited edition of only 99 impressions. This example is hand-signed and numbered in pencil (70/99), making it a highly desirable collector piece.
Printed on heavy woven Magnani paper with visible watermark and strong plate embossing, this work reflects the rich tonal depth and craftsmanship characteristic of traditional intaglio printmaking.
