Llama; and Indian Rhinoceros
Mel Ramos created these two works as publisher's proofs through Graphicstudio at the University of South Florida, with the llama issued in an edition of 30 and the Indian rhinoceros in an edition of 8, both signed and dated in pencil. The prints bear the institution's blindstamp and exemplify Ramos's characteristic approach to animal subjects, rendered with his distinctive graphic sensibility. As unframed works, they retain their documentary quality as proofs, offering insight into the artist's printmaking practice and his engagement with the Tampa-based publisher during his career.
