Signed Limited Edition Landscape Etching by Lebasque

This item is a vertically oriented black and white etching or lithograph on heavy-woven cream-colored paper, measuring 2027 x 2612 pixels in digital format. The composition features a serene coastal landscape dominated by two large, intricately detailed pine trees in the foreground. Their dark, textured bark and dense needle canopies contrast sharply against a bright, hazy sky and a distal body of water. A low stone wall or balustrade meanders along a terrace, following the coastline and directing the viewer's eye toward the distant hills on the horizon. The technique displays high-quality craftsmanship, utilizing fine stippling and cross-hatching to create a rich range of tonal values. In the lower margin, several hand-written pencil inscriptions are visible: clear numbering '8/150' on the far left signifying a limited edition run, a central title that appears to read 'Le Rivage', and a cursive signature on the bottom right that appears to be 'Lebasque' followed by the date '55'. The piece appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible foxing, tearing, or discoloration within the image plate, though there is a slight indentation around the image border indicating a traditional press plate mark. The style is mid-20th-century European realism, specifically 1955, reflecting a post-impressionist influence in its handling of light and landscape.
