Estéban (Steve) Edwards Hand-Colored Etching 11/100 – Rio Grande
Delicate and contemplative hand-colored etching by Estéban (Steve) Edwards (1942–2010), numbered 11/100 and signed in pencil. The scene depicts a Franciscan friar leading his burro along the Rio Grande, framed by distant mesas beneath an expansive Southwestern sky. Edwards’ mastery of fine line etching and transparent watercolor washes brings warmth and depth to this intimate study, balancing humble human presence with vast natural serenity.
Presented under glass with a double mat in cream and rose tones, housed in an ornate metallic frame. A serene and spiritually resonant composition characteristic of Edwards’ Rio Grande series — ideal for collectors of Southwestern or devotional art.
