CONDITION | This artwork is in very good condition and can be hung and displayed as it is. |
Beautiful copy of a woodcut print with (printed) signature. Looks like the real thing if not closely scrutinised. The Union Buildings were completed in 1912 and the lack of buildings between Prinsenhof and the Union Buildings evident in this woodcut indicated that Pierneef must have executed the woodcut before about 1920. The image above was taken through glass and is somewhat discoloured and does not do justice to the lovely clear artwork. Note that this is a print of a woodcut and not an original signed woodcut.
The artwork on auction here shown without the frame. The Union Buildings in the distance is placed centrally on the artwork and about two thirds from the top. An excellent composition! Detail of the focal point of the artwork, showing the lovely woodcut work. The artists printed signature appears in the margin at bottom right and he has titled the item at bottom left (both appear to be in done in lead pencil but are, in fact, printed signatures). The print of a woodcut from behind and shown with a Coke can to give an idea of relative size. It measures 46 x 53 cm. SHIPPING COST: R68 IN SOUTH AFRICA. FOR OTHER COUNTRIES: THE POST OFFICE PARCEL RATE PLUS 20%.
