Other Notes: |
In this print Zúñiga makes the background vegetation seem to be veiled due to his use of the litho pencil held very flat. The misty veil over the entire scene is said to be a memory of his recent return from a trip to Thailand, where everything seemed misty.
Edition note: The Zúñiga Catalogue lists the edition size as 135, but clearly it is 150.
