Green Branching Form on Sand Ground, Crespi, Signed, Framed

About the Item

Crespi. A single sage-green shape spreads diagonally across a small square sheet, its body pierced by pale oval voids so that it reads at once as a lichen, a canopy of leaves and a run of arches. The green is soft and granular, as though brushed onto damp paper, and it sits on a warm sand-and-oatmeal ground flecked with grey. Everything else is empty. Wide pencil margins carry the edition number at the left and the artist's signature at the right; the sheet is double-matted in cream and deep mocha with a silver bevel, inside a broad brushed champagne frame. Medium: giclee print on textured rag paper. Signed lower right margin, in pencil, reading "Crespi". Inscribed on the reverse or mount: Crespi (pencil, lower right margin). Condition: No foxing, cockling or tears visible through the glass; mats clean. Strong reflections across the glazing.
