Helene de Free, 'Windtower and Rooftops' Limited Edition Print

This item is a framed, limited-edition monochrome graphic print by the artist Helene de Free, titled 'Windtower and Rooftops,' dated 1987. The artwork depicts a traditional Middle Eastern architectural scene, prominently featuring a classic 'Barjeel' or windtower in the foreground, with various rooftops and a distant minaret in the background. The piece is executed in a sketch-like style with fine line work and cross-hatching to create depth and texture. The print is hand-signed by the artist in the lower right corner, along with the date '1987'. In the lower left, it is titled and marked with the edition number '91/100' and a Roman numeral 'II', suggesting it is part of a specific series or state. The artwork is professionally mounted with a multi-layered matting system consisting of a thin gold or wood-tone inner fillet, a black middle mat, and a large slate-grey outer mat. It is housed behind glass in a simple, contemporary black frame. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or paper degradation. The composition utilizes vertical orientation to emphasize the height of the traditional Emirati architecture, showcasing high-quality draftsmanship and attention to cultural heritage details.
