Etched with the quiet gravity that only intaglio can hold – every line a little worn, a little haunted, like it’s been waiting decades to be looked at. A woman meets your eye without flinching, a white dove balanced on her hand as if it landed there mid-thought and simply stayed. Set in an oval oak frame, small in size but not in presence. Some pieces whisper; this one holds perfectly still and waits for you to lean in.
