Aquatint is an intaglio printmaking technique where the image is incised into a surface. The incised area holds the ink and is transferred to the paper. The aquatint process creates tones in addition to etched lines.

Paper measures 14.25" W x 12 " H; printed area measures 9.875" W x 7.875" H. Unframed.
