French Primitive Modern Print by Bob Meyer: Signed and Numbered 3 of 25 with an Additional RM Mark, Framed

Brass buttons, red tabs, and a grin that has never once saluted.

China is a framed etching on paper by Bob Meyer, from France, published 2015, signed and numbered 3 of 25 with an additional RM mark. Printmakers often hand-color etchings after printing, which lets the artist push each impression toward a painting. A bald child stands squarely in a dark blue military tunic with red collar tabs, gold epaulettes and white buttons. Pale trousers end in small dark shoes. The ground fades from pink to sage, and the title is lettered at the top. A silver frame and white mat surround it. It is 22.5 inches wide and 28.5 high.

A small uniform, and a large sense of humor.
