Description

Woodcut by Richard Kemble depicting an artistic representation of rounded stones clustered together, above a clear blue and white water edge. The stones exhibit diverse shades of brown with distinct striped patterns, suggesting a natural variety in mineral composition. They rest against an abstract background that mimics ripples or waves, highlighted by the calming blue tones, which deepen towards the bottom. This artwork emphasizes a serene interaction between the solidity of the stones and the fluidity of water, likely symbolizing balance and tranquility in nature. Printed to deckled edges. Numbered 22/25.
