Revery - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

As I contemplate making portraits, often it is a symbol, or mood that I am after in addition to the likeness of the sitter.  A universal gesture that we all can relate with when seeing the picture. It was the combination of the quiet expression, exquisite light and the linen shift that moved me at this moment. This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel carbon black, raw sepia, and warm sepia inks with a dash of Charbonnel sanguine ink on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 8 numbered prints and  3 A/P prints.  Hand-pulled print by Ray Bidegain Limited edition of 8 6.25 x 7.75  inches on an 15 x 20 sheet. Signed numbered and dated by the artist on the lower front.
