Shell, print, printmaker: Maurits van der Valk (signed by artist), 1867 - 1914, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 134 mm x width 195 mm, scallop, ornament, A detailed pen-and-ink drawing of a large, fan-shaped shell or scallop resting on a flat surface, rendered with dense parallel and curved lines that form layered, ribbed segments and textured edges. The shell spreads outward from a central base with tightly curved ridges and scalloped contours, showing intricate cross-hatching and small jagged marks along the outer rims. Reflected lines beneath the shell suggest a mirrored surface with long, radiating strokes and softer curved lines continuing the shell’s pattern. The background features vertical, flowing drapery-like strokes and looping, cloudlike swirls, with scattered fine scratches and speckled marks across the paper. The overall color is a warm, aged sepia with varying line density creating shadows and depth.
