Framed Etching of a Rural Landscape
This item is a monochrome etching or engraving depicting a bucolic rural scene with figures and cottages, possibly of 17th or 18th-century European origin. The central image is printed on paper with visible plate marks, surrounded by a light-colored window mat. The artwork is housed in a distinctive Art Deco style wood frame, characterized by its wide honey-toned grain and dark, square corner blocks that create a stepped appearance. The frame is rectangular and appears to be in good vintage condition with minor surface wear. The print itself shows some evidence of foxing or aging spots, which is typical for its presumed age. The composition features a large tree to the left and rustic architecture to the right, rendered with fine cross-hatching and line work that suggests a high level of technical skill. There is faint script visible below the image, likely indicating the artist or the title of the work, though it is not legible from this distance. The overall presentation combines a classical print aesthetic with a more modern 20th-century framing choice.
