This is a beautiful original etching by one of Australia's strongest mid career artists Mark Schaller. Using bold, expressive lines the work depicts a serene and dreamlike figure.
The expert mark-making and aquatinting techniques convey the grain and texture of roughly hewn wooden surfaces, favoured by the artist in his sculptures and carved relief paintings.
