Condition: This charming etching by Meta Plückebaum is not only a visual pleasure, but is also in remarkably good condition, which adds to its value. The artwork shows very little dotting, a term used in graphic arts to describe the small dots that sometimes occur as part of the printing process or due to age. This minimal dot indicates that the artwork has been well preserved over the years.
In addition, there is a slight discoloration to the right below the signature. This subtle change in pigmentation is often a natural consequence of the aging process of paper and inks, and does not detract from the integrity or aesthetic value of the work. It is important to note that there is no ink or paint loss, which is exceptional for a work of this age.
Furthermore, no folds or tears are visible, which indicates that the artwork has been treated and maintained with great care. This is a testament to the quality and durability of Plückebaum's technique and the materials she has chosen.
Considering the age of the work, the overall condition is impressive and underlines the quality of Plückebaum's craftsmanship. This work is ready to be cherished by a new owner who appreciates the art historical value and delicacy of this piece.
