The Etching Table — Fine Art

The Etching Table - 1971 shows a table surface with cups and a plate set in simple forms. Mary Fedden used clear outlines and flat colour to hold the objects in place. The scene reads as a quiet still life with everyday items placed carefully on the surface.

This fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel and arrives assembled when the ready to hang option is used. The matte surface keeps the colours even and stops a gloss under a lamp. The frame gives the picture a fixed edge so the shapes stay clear.

In a kitchen with pale cabinets the picture sits above the sink. From the doorway the table and the cups read as one block. Standing by the counter you notice the outline of each plate and the space between them.
