<p>[QUOTE="Eric Tipton, post: 9573947, member: 9899"]WOW! Thank you all so much! Wasn't expecting this many comments, I really appreciate it. I am a dealer, but my focus is usually jewelry and antiques so art is not my expertise. I got this etching at a small local auction along with one other one, and they likely came straight out of an estate. I think whoever owned them before put them in new frames...wish I knew what the old frame looked like to get a better sense of age. I do find it surprising that there would be no signature, but maybe I will take a closer look with a loupe just in case. The other one it came with looks to be antique, but I couldn't find any info on the artist. I don't think there's any relation between the two besides them being from the same home. If anyone is familiar with the artist's name on that one let me know! It looks like "Delfosse" perhaps?</p><p><br /></p><p>I love everyone's thoughts so far... a Christian pilgrim is a good idea, and I'm definitely going to look into Arthur Rackham and Julius Diez, although I haven't had the opportunity yet. I've had my fair share of prints and etchings, but this one I found rather unique, so I thought it was worth looking into more.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]460614[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460616[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]460618[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
