The Wish Granted
Hand-colored etching, 346 x 247 mm.. Every age has its silly song ("I'd Be a Butterfly") and almost every age has its caricaturist/genie to take it literally, to expose it, to skewer it. The humor may be a bit thin, but it makes a lovely picture. A fine impression with fresh colors on wove paper with margins; tape stains at the top of the sheet, away from the image.
