Signed etching titled "Red Niche" by J.C. Heywood.

• This artwork is an original signed etching titled "Red Niche" by the acclaimed Canadian artist J.C. (John Carl) Heywood.
• This particular piece's frame has been a bit damaged (see pics) which is reflected in the price.
• Created in 1983, it is part of a limited edition of only 75 prints (this one being number 47). 
• This is a color etching, a process where an image is incised into a metal plate with acid and then hand-inked.
• Heywood was a master printmaker known for his supreme assurance in technical mastery.
• The piece features a triptych of three recessed "niches," each containing a vibrant floral arrangement against a textured, grey background. 
• The label on the back shows it was originally sold by the Mira Godard Gallery in Toronto, one of Canada's premier commercial galleries.
• This strengthens its authenticity and history of ownership.  J.C. Heywood (1941–2022) was a Professor Emeritus at Queen’s University and a highly influential figure in Canadian printmaking.
• His works are held in prestigious collections, including the Bibliothèque Nationale du Québec.
• Because only 75 of these were ever made, the piece is inherently rare. 
• 51" X 39"
