Sue Etkin Lithograph Appraisal

Limited Edition Lithograph 'Susan' by Sue Etkin

This item is a framed limited edition lithograph titled 'Susan,' created by the artist Sue Etkin in 1983. The piece is part of a numbered edition, specifically identified as number 143 out of a total edition of 300, plus 25 artist proofs. The artwork depicts a young girl and is presented with its original documentation attached to the verso. The reverse of the frame features a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) printed on white paper, which includes a color thumbnail of the artwork, the serial number, and a signature of authorization by the lithographer from Ultra Color Inc. Adjacent to the COA is a technical 'Warranty' label providing certification of archival properties, detailing the use of LINCO archival tape and instructions for the care and preservation of works of art on paper. A small gold foil label from 'Leewards Craft Bazaar' is affixed to the lower right, likely indicating the retail or framing source. The frame back is covered in traditional brown kraft dust cover paper. Condition-wise, the dust cover shows visible signs of aging, including several small punctures, minor tearing, and creasing throughout. A standard hanging wire is attached near the top with staples. The documentation appears slightly yellowed due to age but remains fully legible and securely attached with clear tape. This lithograph reflects the sentimental figurative style popular in the early 1980s and is well-documented, which is a significant quality indicator for collectors.
