This 1993 etching by William Kentridge combines multiple printmaking techniques including aquatint, color printing, and extensive hand watercolor application to create a richly layered composition. The work is a printer's proof from a limited edition of 50, printed by Jack Shirreff at the 107 Workshop and published by David Krut Fine Art across London and Johannesburg. The large format sheet on BFK Rives paper demonstrates Kentridge's commitment to materiality and the handmade, characteristic of his practice that bridges drawing, printmaking, and animation.
