Pioneer Mill Limited Edition Etching by Alawen '82

This is a matted and framed limited edition print, likely an etching or fine-line lithograph, titled 'Pioneer Mill'. The artwork depicts a rustic watermill with a large paddle wheel, a stone foundation, and a wooden barn-like structure set against a backdrop of trees. Executed in monochromatic sepia or terracotta tones, the piece displays intricate cross-hatching and stippling techniques typical of traditional printmaking. In the bottom margin, the piece is hand-inscribed in pencil: 'Pioneer Mill' on the left, the edition number '165/300' in the center, and the artist's signature 'Alawen 82' on the right. This indicates the piece was created in 1982 and is part of a limited run of 300 copies. The artwork is set within a cream-colored mat and a rustic, dark-stained wood frame that shows visible wear, including scuffs, scratches, and a slight separation at the corners. The print itself appears well-preserved within the frame, though there is a faint circular discoloration or foxing mark in the upper sky portion of the image. The style is representational of 20th-century Americana folk art, emphasizing historical architectural themes with a hand-crafted aesthetic.
