Tuulikki Pietilä - A Small Drypoint Portrait, Signed, Dated & Numbered
Tolvanin Merimies.
An attractive and early, small drypoint (etching) by Tuulikki Pietilä (1917-2009), Finland's most influential graphic artist of the 20th Century.
Numbered 3/15 (lower left) and hand-signed/dated in pencil in 1947 by the artist (middle to lower right).
Framed and under glass, the frame measures 24cm x 28cm approx. Image measures 6 cm x 9 cm approx.
"Tolvanin Merimies" translates as "Sailor from Tolvanen". The print appears to be in VG to Fine condition, not examined under frame. Original backing with label to verso. The frame is a simple wooden one with a noticeable chip right edge near top, a couple of other much smaller ones on the surface of the edges and a few other minor marks, condition commensurate with age - likely to be the original frame.
