A skeletal, hollow-faced figure draped in a dark hooded cloak stands rigidly against densely cross-hatched shadows in this black and white etching. The stark contrast between the pallid, skull-like visage and the deep charcoal tones creates an unsettling, Gothic atmosphere rooted in expressionist printmaking. At home in a gallery devoted to dark cinema or a collector's cabinet of classic horror. Printed to order directly onto lightweight aluminum with a high-gloss finish that makes color and detail pop and resists fading over time. A wood backing floats it about three-quarters of an inch off the wall and holds the wire or sawtooth hanger. Available from mini to large, it is original art with a modern, durable edge, not a quick print off a shelf.
