Framed & Mat Black Labrador Retriever ON ALERT Signed
LABRADOR RETRIEVER HEADSTUDY
"ON ALERT"
LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 125
by Mark Bowen
NOTE: The background color on this print appears to be gray or silver. In actuality, it's sort of almond or ivory in color. Our camera just couldn't seem to get the color right and, since it's under glass, I couldn't scan it.
"On Alert" seems to me to be the perfect title for this print. The dog, of course, does look alert, but what I've always liked was the way the mallards were both over and in back of the dogs' head. It always seemed to me that the dog was dreaming of the ducks.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to track down any information on the artist and believe me I've spent lots of time googling. A card attached to the back says that it's done by "Mark Bowen" of Erie, PA. I have no idea when this was done but it does appear to be RARE. I have been unable to locate another copy of this.
This print is hand titled and hand signed by the artist. It's numbered 122/125. The framed piece is 14 inches high by 12 inches wide. This has a double mat. First, there's the oval mat surrounding the drawing. Then there's a woven mat with a wooden edge which comes next. The brown frame has a weathered barnwood look.  The frame has one small scrape on it.
A nice addition to your Lab collection.
