Clifford Neilsen Print 129/750

This item is a limited edition print by Clifford Neilsen, numbered 129 out of a total edition of 750. The print features a grayscale depiction of what appears to be a young Indigenous child or individual, adorned in traditional attire. The central figure is shown standing, facing forward, with distinct facial features and hair styled with prominent, spiky elements on top, possibly indicating a headdress or intricate braids. The individual wears a patterned garment on the upper body, possibly a jacket or tunic, decorated with circular or oval motifs, and a light-colored, possibly fur, stole or wrap draped over one shoulder. The lower body is covered by a dark, floor-length skirt or robe, and light-colored footwear, possibly moccasins, are visible. The overall composition is in black and white, or grayscale, suggesting an artistic style that emphasizes contrast and form. The print appears to be in good condition with no visible significant tears, creases, or discoloration from the provided image, though specific details of the paper and printing quality cannot be fully assessed. There are faint pencil markings or signatures in the lower right corner, including what looks like 'C.M. Neisen' and potentially a date or title, adding to its authenticity. The style evokes a portraiture approach, focusing on cultural representation. The limited edition numbering implies a controlled production, enhancing its collectibility. The craftsmanship would lie in the detailed rendering of the subject and the quality of the printmaking process itself.
