Tree Study, Etching on Deckled Paper

A small etched print on cream, deckled handmade paper shows a dark, feathery tree with a pale trunk and branches spreading upward within a thin plate mark. Soft tonal shading suggests foliage dissolving into the surrounding light, with a faint embossed border and monogram visible at the lower right.
