Description
The ethereal quality of Cyril's nocturnal floral image is created achieved through the use of aquatint, which gives much of the plate a soft, tonal quality. "Moonlit Pond" was printed in 1969 at Studio Prints in London for Associated American Artists (AAA) and published the next year, 1970 by AAA.
