Groombridge, Signed Tom Caldwell Cottage Print, Numbered Edition, Framed, 1989

About the Item

Tom Caldwell. A finely detailed view of a Kentish cottage: a steep thatched roof and a tall brick chimney stack rise above white-plastered walls crossed by dark half-timbering, and a clipped hedge, brick pier and picket gate run along the front. The whole image is built from a dense stipple of tiny strokes that gives the foliage a frosted, granular look. The palette is cool and almost monochrome - slate blue-grey, chalk white, muted brick red and pale sky. Wide cream mat in a deep mahogany-toned moulding under glass. Medium: offset fine-art reproduction after an egg tempera painting, pencil signed and numbered. Signed lower left margin, in pencil, reading "Tom Caldwell". Edition: 761/1100 (edition size 1100 plus 110 artist's proofs, printed 1989). Accompanied by a certificate: Certificate giving Title: Groombridge / Artist: Tom Caldwell / Year printed: 1989 / Edition Size: 1100 / Artist Proofs: 110, hand-numbered 761/1100 - photographed as IMG_8853, which was filed with listing A084.
