Full Description
A characterful 19th-century Indian elephant print, dating from circa 1880 and executed in ink on paper.
The elephant is depicted with a simple yet wonderfully expressive quality, creating an appealing image that works as both a historical print and an unusual piece of decorative wall art. Its modest scale adds to its charm and makes it particularly easy to incorporate into an existing collection of pictures and prints.
The work has been later mounted and framed, with the mid-century frame adding another layer to the history of the piece. The clean presentation allows the earlier Indian print to remain the focus while giving it a distinctive vintage appearance.
Dating from the late 19th century, this is an appealing example of Indian antique printmaking, with the elephant subject providing both visual interest and a strong connection to the art and imagery of India.
A lovely small decorative work, ideal for collectors of antique animal prints, Indian art and unusual works on paper.
