Looks very good, in "as found" original untouched condition, waves in paper, not examined out of the frame, matte has tone, frame has wear, glass is too large and will be removed before shipping--please look at photos carefully.
Exquisite color etching by Stanley Wilson depicting two angel fish floating in a green ocean, surrounded by richly colorful aquatic plant-life. Wilson was known for his etchings. This is an exceptional example of his work with a fantastic subject and an impressive provenance. My price of $499 is extremely reasonable and far below what one would be expected to pay for it in a gallery or at auction.
Please view my other paintings listed on ebay this week--we are adding a new bunch every Thursday. If not sold they will go into my ebay store at a more realistic and higher buy-it-now price, or removed.
