Silver Maple — Tessa Beaver (unframed)

Silver Maple — Tessa Beaver (1932–2018)

Limited edition two-colour etching with aquatint, 63/125

Image size: approx. 62 x 51 cm

A New England gambrel-roofed clapboard house, its horizontal siding printed in warm ochre, anchored by a monumental silver maple whose gnarled trunk and arching branch — rendered in contrasting graphite tones — sweep across the facade. The tension between the tree’s realism and the building’s flatter, almost graphic treatment is quietly compelling.

Pencil-signed, titled and numbered. Deckled edges. Unframed.
