Monticelli 1969

"Monticelli" is a 1969 lithograph by American artist Leonard Baskin (1922-2000). The artwork features a profile portrait of a man, rendered in black ink. Baskin is known for his expressive line work and often depicted figures with a sense of melancholy and introspection. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture within the print. This print is part of an edition of 100, reflecting the artist's practice of producing art in multiples. The work is a fine example of Baskin's distinctive style and enduring contribution to the printmaking world.
