A masterful display of Julio Larraz's printmaking skill, this etching and aquatint in colors on Arches paper captures the elegant spiral geometry of a chambered nautilus shell. Larraz employs the rich tonal possibilities of aquatint to render the shell's lustrous surface and intricate chambers with remarkable depth and subtlety. The full margins of the fine Arches paper lend the composition a sense of quiet refinement, allowing the natural wonder of the nautilus to command the viewer's full attention.
