Description

Bev Doolittle Wolves of the Crow Signed Lithograph #44/2650 — Arrow


"Wolves of the Crow" is a signed and numbered lithograph by Bev Doolittle, numbered 44 from an edition of 2650, rendered in her signature stippled technique. The diptych composition spans two panels: the left depicts Crow warriors riding hard on painted and bay horses beneath a stormy rose-and-charcoal sky; the right resolves the motion into a pack of wolves running in spectral formation, the two worlds merging at the center join. Doolittle's printed copyright mark and handwritten pencil signature with edition number appear in the lower left margin of the left panel. The work is custom-presented in a cream mat board with rust-toned diamond inset motifs, a rust inner mat, a wood frame with black inner bead molding, and a brass title plaque affixed to the lower mat.

The lot also includes a hand-crafted arrow mounted below the diptych: a straight wooden shaft with turquoise and white painted bands, natural bird-feather fletching bound at the nock with sinew wrapping, and a knapped stone point lashed to the tip with sinew.


CONDITION

Very Good. The print shows no visible fading, foxing, or toning, and the pencil signature is crisp and legible. The arrow's fletching is intact with all vanes present and the sinew lashing at the point is secure. Light dust is present along the mat edges consistent with extended wall display.
