A print featuring the words "The End" in a vintage, serif font, centered on a textured background that resembles an old film strip or a piece of weathered paper. The print is numbered "6/28" in the bottom left corner and signed with the initials "E.R. '92" in the bottom right corner, indicating it's part of a limited series and dated from 1992. The overall tone is sepia, suggesting an aged or nostalgic quality.
A black and white etching of a simple rural scene featuring a diagonal fence casting long shadows across a textured field, with the image bordered by a wide white margin where numbering and artist's initials are inscribed in pencil.
A grayscale artwork depicting a close-up view of a clock face, showing the numbers 2 through 14 in a non-standard arrangement. The clock's hour hand points between the 7 and 8, while there is no visible minute hand. The image is framed within a larger white border, and there is a signature with the date '92 in the bottom right corner.
A black and white print featuring two teepees with a series of vertical dotted lines suggesting rainfall. The image has a textured appearance, with the teepees appearing dark against a lighter background. There is a signature and edition number on the bottom right.
A grayscale abstract artwork centered on a white background. The piece features a horizontal rectangular area with textured shading that transitions from light at the top to dark at the bottom. A small, white checkmark-like symbol is visible in the upper right quadrant of the shaded area. The artwork is numbered on the bottom left and signed and dated on the bottom right.
A black and white etching of the number 6 inside a circle, centered on a textured background that resembles a wooden plank. The artwork is numbered 6/25 and signed by the artist, dated '92, in the lower margin.
