This is a view of a shepherd sitting beneath an oak tree with his flock.
Hand signed in pencil by the artist lower right. Numbered 3 of an edition of 100 impressions. Titled 'The Old Oak, Bolton Abbey' and also inscribed bottom left 'In the Deer Park'.
The etching is in good condition having been stored in a folio for many years though there is faint creasing at the corners. Printed on cream coloured laid paper.
The sheet measures 25.5 x 33.5cm, the image size is 17 x 22.5cm.
Postage £3 in the UK, £8 to mainland Europe and £12 to the USA. (These prices for standard postage, tracking will be an additional cost). I will of course combine postage if more than one similar item is purchased.
