Capital Artifact

Paris

Musée des Archives Nationales, Marais, Paris

I worked a little today on my small etching of a column capital
seen at Musée des Archives in the Marais, Paris. This is a sketch
derived from a photograph I made during a visit.

I think I am pretty much finished and can go ahead and print this.
Probably on toned 'Domestic Etch', and as it is only 5x5, maybe I will
put it on 15x10 bottom weighted, just to give it some power in the
space. A little gem in a fancy setting. :-)

I'm happy with this piece. It more or less came 'too easy' if that
makes sense (but has made up for others which are wearing me out !).

(Aquatint, etched onto Zinc Plate).
