An atmospheric and dynamic etching by Michael Oleman, showing his interpretation of a section of the poem "Kubla Khan by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The etching depicts the first verse of the poem:
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
The artist has pictured a dramatic sea with rocky outcrops under a dark and stormy sky. The etching is finished with coloured aquatint. The artist has signed, inscribed and numbered (75/75) to the lower edge. The painting has been presented in a contemporary wood effect frame with glazing.
On wove.The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and slight undulation to the wove. The frame has some scratching to the surface at the lower edge.
