Περιγραφή από τον πωλητή
Original Color Etching by Samy Briss
A beautiful original color etching by the listed artist Samy Briss, executed in warm golden tonalities and signed in pencil by the artist. This impression is numbered 12/12, indicating a very small limited edition and enhancing the rarity and collectible character of the work.
The composition depicts two stylized figures locked in an intimate embrace, their forms merging into a single, harmonious silhouette. Rendered in Briss’s characteristic poetic and symbolic visual language, the figures are simplified and softened, becoming almost timeless presences rather than individual portraits.
The warm golden palette envelops the figures in a luminous atmosphere, giving the scene a sense of calm, intimacy and quiet emotion. The composition feels less like a literal representation and more like a memory, a dream, or a symbolic image of unity and human connection — themes that appear frequently in Briss’s artistic universe.
The textured surface, visible plate tone and delicate engraved lines reveal the traditional etching technique, demonstrating the artist’s refined printmaking skill. The limited palette and balanced composition create a highly decorative and contemplative image, typical of the École de Paris artistic environment in which Briss worked after settling in France.
Dimensions:
• Sheet size: 22 × 27 cm
• Framed size: 28 × 34 cm
The work is signed in pencil by the artist and numbered 12/12, and also bears the artist’s stamp in the lower left corner. It is presented in a complementary frame that enhances the warm tonal qualities of the artwork.
