Description
Martin Ware signed artist proof color etching titled “Jar with Roses,” featuring a refined still life of roses arranged in a glass jar with layered blue, violet, pink, and yellow tones. The work has the quiet, modern studio-print quality associated with Ware’s color etchings, with strong use of shadow, transparency, and geometric composition.
This is pencil signed lower right, titled lower center, and marked A/P lower left for Artist’s Proof. The visible plate impression confirms this as an original intaglio print, not a poster or offset reproduction.
