Draped - photogravure print - Private release editionInspired by marble statues I collaborated with a favorite model to make this 4x5 negative and later a limited edition of prints. This hand pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel carbon black and warm sepia ink, with a dash of Charbonnel sanguine ink on Hahnemhle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 10 numbered prints and 3 A P prints. Hand pulled print by Ray Bidegain Limited edition of 10 5. 0 x 7. 0 on an 11x15 sheet. Signed

Printed with warm Charbonnel inks on BFK paper
