Steam Portrait Before the Red Wall Hahnemühle German Etching Print

This is one of the most emotionally charged portraits in the batch. The man and woman stand before fields of red, black, and deep blue, their geometric facial planes and ringed eyes making them appear as though they have been repeatedly traced by emotion and time. Coffee cups, a small vase, and rising steam preserve the familiar symbols of the café, while the red wall and urban outlines deepen the scene with unease. The work balances intimacy and scrutiny, like a conversation that has gone on for too long, until only the steam remains to speak for both figures.

All our prints are available on a range of matt and lustre finishes, each carefully profiled for fantastically accurate and consistent reproductions using giclée printing techniques.
