Etching on paper, 10" by 7 1/4" inside the mat, 16" by 12 3/4" framed, signed at lower right in pencil by well-known New Orleans artist EUGENE F. LOVING (1908-1971). The print is titled at lower left, "The Marchand Court Old New Orleans", and bears the artist's notation "Ed/200" at lower center. Loving was a familiar figure on the New Orleans art scene for decades, painting and executing prints as well. A teacher as well, he was something of a father figure of sorts to other artists in the region. The detail in the print is astounding, the contrasts impressive. The artist was certainly skilled at fine etching technique. The image area of the print itself is very clean, though there is some light oxidation of the paper commensurate with the age in the margins, along with old browned mat outline visible especially along the left side and lower margin; left area margin could be somewhat hidden by a new mat, which is recommended in any event. See several other prints by Loving in my shop. Hung together, they would make a great collection.
