We fell in love with the owl's expressive eyes and endearing "roundness". The etching shows wonderful details, vibrant colors and is in great shape. Wear to the raised edge of the frame but we don't really notice it as it adds to the rustic look of the frame. The etching has a raised seal and is hand-signed and numbered. Please review the photographs to see the condition details up close.
