Description
“Cave Hound” is a striking greyhound drypoint etching that draws inspiration from prehistoric cave paintings. This limited edition artwork is created using a zinc plate and is available in two colour variants: bone black ink and sepia ink, both printed on premium Somerset white paper.
The composition features a single greyhound in profile, its sleek form elegantly rendered with simple, flowing lines that capture the essence of these ancient artworks. The background is textured, reminiscent of rough cave walls, creating a sense of depth and history. The greyhound appears to be in motion, its legs extended in a graceful stride, embodying the speed and agility these dogs are known for.
Each print in this limited edition is crafted on high-quality Somerset white paper, measuring 10 x 10 cm, with the etched area measuring 6.5 x 6.5 cm. The square format and minimalist design lend themselves well to modern décor whilst maintaining a timeless quality.
“Cave Hound” celebrates the enduring beauty of the greyhound, connecting our modern appreciation for these elegant dogs with their ancient history. It’s a perfect piece for both sighthound enthusiasts and those who appreciate fine printmaking with a touch of historical flair. The artwork comes unframed, allowing collectors the flexibility to choose a frame that complements their personal style and décor.
This limited edition greyhound art print is a unique work that bridges the gap between ancient and contemporary art. Each edition (bone black and sepia) is limited to 13 prints before the zinc plate is retired, making these pieces truly collectable. The intimate size makes it ideal for creating a striking focal point in smaller spaces or as part of a curated gallery wall, bringing a touch of prehistoric elegance to any room.
