This example is hand-signed and numbered in pencil (No. 5/99), placing it among the earliest pulls in the edition.

Printed on fine Magnani paper in Pescia, with production overseen by Piergiorgio Spallacci (Pesaro), the work displays the rich tonal depth and textural quality characteristic of traditional intaglio processes. The sheet bears a visible watermark, along with strong plate embossing—evidence of its authentic hand-pulled execution.

Included with the piece is a complementary poem (“Where Nature and Art Meet”), adding a thoughtful narrative element that enhances its presentation and collectibility.
