Description

At Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, this statue of an angel stands atop the fountain. The statue references the Gospel of John, which describes an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda and giving it healing powers. The fountain commemorates the Croton water system, which first brought fresh water to New York City in 1842. The angel carries a lily in her left hand, a symbol of the water's purity, very important to a city that had previously suffered from a devastating cholera epidemic before the system was established. The piece is the only statue that was commissioned for the Park. Created by Emma Stebbins, it also marked the first time a woman received a public art commission in New York City. My version of this conspicuously omits the titular hand. In the words of Le Petit Prince "Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

One of a Kind

You can purchase a one of a kind, original print of this image directly from the artist by contacting me via email. The picture is signed and the mat has a hand drawn remarque in graphite. The paper and inks are archival and the printing is done under my direct supervision.

An original print is one on which I have personally supervised the process. It is printed on archival paper using archival inks. I hand sign the piece and draw a remarque on the mat that in some way reflects the original image. This small original drawing adds aesthetic interest as well as value to the print. In the case of "A Lily in Her Hand" I might draw a water lily bloom or some other related object in graphite.

An original print is a higher value collector's piece because of the additional care and handling. It differs from the prints that are sold by Fine Art America by virtue of the quality of materials, the signature and the remarque. Its increased value to the collector is in its one of a kind status.

I frame the image using gallery molding - clean, square wood molding in either black, white, natural or walnut stain. It has a contemporary look that gives the piece a professional finish.

Shipping & Handling are based on zipcode. I can give you a specific price when I know the destination. The size of the image is 24x36. The mat and frame add to the size. The finished piece is approximately 30x40.

Additionally, prints of all of my photos can be purchased directly from me in various sizes that include a signature, a remarque and custom framing. Please contact me by email for details and pricing.
