A finely executed botanical etching by Perth-based artist Lindsay Carter, known for his meticulous pen-and-ink draughtsmanship. The composition depicts two tufted native plant forms—likely sedge or grass species—rendered in Carter’s characteristic linear style, with delicate etched lines capturing both structure and movement. The soft blue ground, applied by hand, provides a subtle tonal field that enhances the crispness of the black line work.
Signed in pencil lower right and editioned 20/50 lower left, indicating a limited print run. The visible plate mark frames the composition, consistent with traditional intaglio techniques.
Carter is best known for his architectural and topographical works, including his 1977 suite 12 Pen Sketches of Perth & Fremantle, WA, though this piece demonstrates his versatility and sensitivity to natural forms.
Presented in a period gilt frame with neutral mount; ready to hang.
Condition:
Good overall. Minor toning to the mount and a small spot visible in the upper right margin. Frame with light wear consistent with age.
