about Nymph and Goat 1 (Sepia)

Nymph and Goat 1 (Sepia) by Reuben Nakian is an exquisite circa 1979 etching with chine collé that exemplifies the renowned American sculptor’s mastery of printmaking and classical mythological themes.

This hand-signed and numbered 26 x 20 inch print (image size 16.5 x 13.5 inches) from an edition of 75 HC (Hors Commerce) showcases Nakian’s fluid, gestural line work and deep engagement with Greek and Roman mythology. The sepia tonality created through the chine collé technique adds warmth and depth to the composition, evoking ancient art while maintaining a distinctly modern sensibility. Nakian (1897-1986), celebrated for his abstract expressionist sculptures of mythological subjects, brought the same dynamic energy and classical erudition to his printmaking, creating works that bridge ancient and contemporary art traditions.

About The Medium: Etching

The printing process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio (incised) in the metal. In traditional pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a waxy ground which is resistant to acid. The artist then scratches off the ground with a pointed etching needle where they want a line to appear in the finished piece, exposing the bare metal. The plate is then put through a high-pressure printing press together with a sheet of paper (often moistened to soften it). The paper picks up the ink from the etched lines, making a print.
