Vintage etching titled "Barskin Creek Tenn", by Leon Pescheret. Such a wonderful image, you could just walk right up the path and into the cabin that has smoke rising from the chimney. It is pencil titled and signed, and signed/dated 1934 in the plate. The image measures 9" x 7" plate, and the entire sheet is 14" x 11". This etching has just come back from restoration and now shows the original tones and shading. Condition is near mint with no problems to note. It is in an older blonde maple wood frame and new mat with archival glass.
