Walter Vaes - Unique friendship copy (aquaf. impr.) . H.J. Haverman. - Sold

An exceptional copy of the famous etching "The Bell of Veurne" by the Antwerp master Walter Vaes. This is not a regular edition, but a highly sought-after friendship copy with special annotations that make this work museum-worthy.

Special features of this copy:
Signed: Fully signed in pencil by the artist (bottom right).
Annotation "aquaf. impr." : The abbreviation for aqua forti impressit. This confirms that Walter Vaes not only produced the etching plate himself, but also personally printed the etching with his own hands. Such prints are superior in contrast and detail.
Unique Dedication: Featuring a handwritten dedication: "to Haverman" (most likely addressed to the well-known Dutch artist/contemporary HJ Haverman). This gives the work a unique provenance.
Subject: A powerful, chiaroscuro image of the clockwork in the tower of Veurne, created circa 1904.
Condition: In good condition, appropriate for its age.

A rare opportunity for collectors of the Antwerp School and lovers of early 20th-century printmaking to acquire a highly personal work by Vaes.
