Description from the seller
An owl in medieval alchemist robes, surrounded by the tools of the trade — astrolabes, manuscripts, glass retorts catching the candlelight. The bird's natural gravity and those enormous eyes make the casting choice feel inevitable. Deep interior setting, warm candlelight against cold stone, the visual vocabulary of Northern European medieval painting applied to a subject who would have made an excellent alchemist. Earthy ochres, deep umber, flashes of gold.
An original giclee print, conceived and created by Arno Klein, published by Noble Press. Inks: Archival pigment inks, rated for 100+ years of colour stability under normal display conditions. Paper: Premium museum-quality fine art paper — 70×100 cm sheet, 66×96 cm printed area, 2 cm white border on all sides. Edition: Limited to 10 numbered prints per subject. Authentication: Hand-signed by the artist (AK, lower right) + Noble Press dry embossing seal (lower right, over signature). Each print is individually numbered in the lower centre border. Note on numbering: The photo shows an example copy. Your print will bear the next available number in the edition of 10. Condition: New. Ships rolled in reinforced protective tube.
