Measures: Approx. 33.5 x 28.25 (framed) inches; 25.25 x 19.5 (sight) inches.

Note (s): As with paintings the AP or artist proof is a copy of the lithograph outside of the numbered edition, historically made as a test and reserved for the artist’s own collection or to be shown in gallery, museum shows or given as gifts. A lithograph can have multiple AP’s, and some of them may be made available for purchase if the rest of the edition is sold out.

In today's advent of modern digital printing artist proofs and numbered edition prints are the exact same. Historically, as-is the case with this lithograph, the AP / artist proof is thought of as highly sought after by collectors, as these images are considered “the cream of the crop”.

About the Artist: Fanch Ledan focused on lithography, and in 1975 Tallandier in Paris published his first full edition of lithography prints. Fanch Ledan's serigraphs are a reflection of his imagination, and his subjects vary from life experiences to the intimate interiors of homes. He often works his favorite artists' pieces into his interiorscapes as a way of showcasing his appreciation of their work. His detailed landscapes and interiors attract art enthusiasts by their inviting warmth and subtle colors.

Artist Fanch Ledan continued evolving his printmaking techniques by studying serigraphy, which became his favorite medium for creating original prints. Though Fanch Ledan's prints don’t contain the human form, his interiors depict an occupied space by showcasing articles like a pair of glasses or a cup of coffee. less
