White Chrysanthemum in a Blue Green Vase  -  EVERBAG

This is a fine, rich impression with one inch margins. The condition is fine apart from the slightest trace of an old mat line. This large work exemplifies Everbag's great skills as a color intaglio printmaker. He was producing these plates at a time when color prints were the exception in the netherlands and his color etchings were certainly among the best work done at the time. His earliest works were mezzotints after old masters. His mature work consists primarily of views of Amsterdam, flower studies, birds and other animals. His last important exhibition was at the Museum Kempenland in Eindhoven in 1988. Everbag's prints are consistently good and they are especially sought after by collectors in his native country.
