Waved Sphinx -- moth retailer mezzotint

An original mezzotint on Rives BFK paper. Paper size is 7" x 7" ; image is 4" x 4"
Mezzotint is an intaglio printmaking technique that involves creating an image on a copper plate and printing with a press.

This is an unframed print; it will be sent to you in a retailer clear plastic envelope with a foam core backing.

The moth species is Waved Sphinx (Ceratomia undulata.) It is one of many moths that visited my back porch light in the summer of 2020; I "collected" them in photographs and then they were released to go on about their lives. The print is based on my photos.
