An exquisite woodcut by the celebrated French printmaker Jean André Chièze (1898–1975), The Nautilus draws the viewer into a dreamlike underwater world rendered with masterful precision. Rich in texture and depth, this limited edition print—numbered 16/30 and hand-signed Jean Chièze—captures the quiet poetry of the natural world through Chièze’s signature technique.
Marked The Nautilus D.189, the composition centers around the nautilus shell, a timeless symbol of geometry and grace, surrounded by intricate marine forms and organic textures that unfold like a visual symphony. Every line is meticulously carved, evoking the tradition of classic wood engraving while remaining distinctly modern in its execution.
Newly framed in a silver-toned wooden frame with art glass, the presentation elevates the monochrome palette, allowing light to dance subtly across its fine details.
Dimensions:
Width: approx. 50 cm
Height: approx. 41.5 cm
A refined addition to any collection, this piece speaks to lovers of natural history, printmaking, and timeless beauty.
