A very unique piece of professionally framed art, I belive the technique to be a tracing or a transfer etching of a granite marker in southern virginia for Stonewall Jackson's amputated arm. Some history I found from and I quote... "In a small family cemetery on the Ellwood plantation, located on the eastern edge of Orange County, Va., stands a simple granite marker. It is the only marker in the cemetery, but it does not memorial�ize any of the family burials there. Carved into the face of the stone is "Arm of Stonewall Jackson, May 3, 1863." There is a picture of the actual marker in the top right corner, there is a burgundy mat board around the art. On a piece of white paper there are light pink water colors and tan water colors. The main part, "Arm of Stonewall Jackson May, 3 1863" seems to have been copied directly from through a trace or transfer etch style using red pastels. Almost haunting yet a very beautiful piece. The frame is 18 3/4" x 14 3/4". There is wire for hanging going length wise and a two small puncture holes on the back. A sticker for the business that framed this particular piece is also on the back, "FastFrame Expert Picture Framing" TERMS OF SALE By bidding on this item the buyer understands and agrees with all of the terms stated in our store policies page and elsewhere in this listing.
