Title: Redtail
Artist: Susan James
Medium: Copper plate photogravure (hand-colored)
Subject Matter: This limited edition print, one of only 20 plus two artist proofs, features a stately red-tailed hawk perched on a branch, its gaze directed off to the right. The original source photograph, taken by James herself during a sunrise walk at Radnor Lake State Park in Nashville, TN, is transformed into a rich, sepia-toned photogravure, providing an exquisite base of deep shadows and subtle midtones. Over this, the artist has meticulously applied aquarelle pencils, introducing vibrant yet naturalistic hues to the hawk's plumage, particularly highlighting the warm reds and browns that give the species its name.
Printmaking Process: hand-pulled, handed painted intaglio etching
Ink/Paper Combination: Sepia ink printed on Hahnemühle copperplate paper.
Image Size: 14.25 x 9.5 inches
Paper Size: 19.125 x 14.25 inches
Edition Size: 20 original prints plus two Artist’s Proofs. All prints are signed, numbered, and titled in graphite pencil by the artist.
All images come with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist
Remarks: This image represents a typical image in the edition. A specific edition number (i.e.: 3/50) may no longer be available.
