BOTANICAL AQUATINTS WITH FRENCH MATTING & GOLD LEAF FRAMES





FRENCH MATS custom designed for these charming Hopwood & Baxter Aquatints / Dr Thornton circa 1807.  Using a series of new Antiqarian Museum boards, I used my trademark deep rich colored washes and lines to enhance the beauty of the artwork.  My handmade gold paper around the washline accents the 22 karat gold leaf frame.
