Etching ‘Akrobate’ – acrobat on a bull in black, M. Schneider, 7/8

Original etching ‘Akrobate’ – acrobat on a bull, numbered 7/8

An original etching in black of an acrobat balancing on one hand on the back of a leaping bull. Below the image in pencil ‘7/8 Ets Eigendruck’ (etching, artist’s own impression), and in blue the title ‘Akrobate’, the signature M. Schneider and a date (photo 3). From an edition of only eight impressions, printed by the artist herself. We also have the same motif in red.

Why we chose this piece

A small edition, hand-printed and signed: genuine artist’s printmaking at a modest price. The fluent, thin line makes the motif light and full of movement.

Style and interior

Suits a minimalist, mid-century or eclectic interior. Together with the red version, a lovely pair.
