Unframed, dark ivory paper outside 22 1/2β square, plate mark-11 3/4β square. Possibly 1980. Title and signature unknown. No known provenance. I probably bought it in an antique shop many years ago.

Hello Ann,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be a mixed media intaglio print. It appears the print utilizes etching, aquatint, and collagraph techniques. The work appears to be titled "Woman in China," numbered 37 of an edition of 125 and dated 1980. Unfortunately, I was not able to decipher the signature to the lower margin. I did, however, find a recent auction listing for another example from the edition.
