Graciela Rodo Boulanger - Mother and Child Etching

This item is a limited edition color etching by the renowned Bolivian artist Graciela Rodo Boulanger, titled 'Mère et enfant' or 'Mother and Child'. The artwork depicts a tender scene of a stylized woman embracing a small child wrapped in a highly patterned, decorative blanket. The piece utilizes a soft palette of lavenders, dusty blues, muted golds, and pinks, characteristic of the artist's whimsical and modern style. The construction features intricate line work combined with textured aquatint areas in the background. Notable features include the signature in pencil at the bottom right and the edition number at the bottom center, likely 49/100, indicating its exclusivity. The work is housed in a professional gold-toned frame with a large cream-colored mat. Visible condition issues include slight waving of the paper within the mount, typical of age, and some minor scratching on the gold-toned frame bezel. The craftsmanship reflects typical mid-to-late 20th-century printmaking, showcasing fine detailing in the textile patterns. The style is distinctly mid-century contemporary, capturing the innocence and domestic tranquility for which Rodo Boulanger is celebrated.
