This amazing, rarely-seen-on-the-market "Three Owls" print is likely from the 1960s. It is printed on hand-made paper (probably Arches) with deckled edges; is an authentic plate print; ground etching; has a lot of embossing (which is unusual); and may be mixed media.

Hand numbered (162/200) and hand signed in pencil by the artist.

There is a slight hole at top center, but otherwise in spectacular condition.
