Description

This early, rare etching by Ynez Johnston was done after returning to Los Angeles after studying printmaking at UC Berkeley between 1948 and 1950. She did not produce large editions, mostly proofs which were given to friends or other students. This impression appears to be editioned 4/25 but only 5 were actually printed

This impression is from the collection of her friend Gerald Nordland.
