AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Old engraved plate with a smoked gray background, signed and numbered 91/150, adorned with a stylized figure composed of a dense network of curved and parallel lines. A graphic work with precise lines, very decorative.

Description

Engraved plate on a rigid smoked gray support, featuring a frontal figurative composition built by superimposing fine lines. The drawing depicts a seated silhouette, treated with contour effects, screen patterns, and optical volumes.

The graphic style relies on great linear precision: concentric curves, crossings, areas of varying density, and transparency effects structure the whole. The plate bears the numbering 91/150 at the bottom left and a handwritten signature at the bottom right.

Context

Through its work of repeated lines, visual vibrations, and geometric construction of the body, this plate is part of a graphic vocabulary close to the optical and kinetic research of the second half of the 20th century. The subject, treated with economy of means, favors rhythm, transparency, and the perception of volume.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of traces of use, small scratches, surface marks, and slight dirt visible on the smoked gray background. The support shows a slight curvature and some marks related to age and handling. The whole retains good legibility of the engraved decoration, signature, and numbering.
