I am selling this large and superbly executed etching (with engraving) by an historically overlooked printmaker (Marie Rosalie Bertaud) and one of the remarkably few female artists of the 18th century, for AU$284 (currently US$206.32/EUR174.40/GBP155.78 at the time of this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.

If you are interested in purchasing this startlingly dramatic scene after one of the great painters of shipwrecks (Claude Joseph Vernet), please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
