Janet Davis Etching: "Teacup and Saucer" (10/10)

This is an original intaglio etching by the artist Janet Davis, titled and numbered 10/10 in pencil along the bottom margin. The artwork features a soft-ground or aquatint etching technique, creating a delicate, sepia-toned composition that depicts a top-down view of a teacup sitting on a saucer, accented by floral motifs. The sight size measures approximately 9.5 x 7 inches, housed within a larger 14 x 11-inch frame. The print exhibits a distinct plate mark, reinforcing its authenticity as a hand-pulled original print. The color palette is understated, utilizing earthy ochre and taupe washes that suggest a late 20th-century aesthetic, specifically dated 1987 as per the artist's signature. The paper appears to be a high-quality, heavy-weight rag paper typical for fine art printmaking. The framing includes a light blue textured mat and a thin metallic-finished frame. While the artwork itself appears to be in good condition with no visible foxing or moisture damage, there is a prominent darker stain or smudge on the lower-left corner of the blue mat which does not appear to affect the print itself. The piece is signed in pencil in the lower right margin, showing clear, fine-line craftsmanship characteristic of professional printmaking.
