Signed Limited Edition Etching of Mother and Child

This item is an original limited edition intaglio print, likely an etching or drypoint, presented in a blush-toned fabric-covered or textured mat. The vertical artwork depicts a tender scene of two female figures, presumably a mother and child, rendered in a sepia or reddish-brown monochromatic ink on a rectangular plate. The figures are dressed in turn-of-the-century or Edwardian-style nightgowns or prairie dresses featuring ruffled collars and flowing hems. Below the image plate, there is a visible pencil signature by the artist and a numbering indicating it is print '1/100', making it the first in a very small edition. The year '1979' is also inscribed next to the signature. Physically, the matting shows slight shelf wear and some minor discoloration spotting or foxing near the bottom right edge. The print itself appears well-pressed into the paper, exhibiting the characteristic plate mark of a traditional etching process. The style is reminiscent of late 20th-century realism, focusing on soft lines and delicate shading to convey a sense of nostalgia. The fine linework on the fabric of the dresses suggests a high degree of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Overall, the piece is in good vintage condition, though professional reframing or cleaning of the matting may be required to prevent further acidic damage to the underlying paper.
