Color Woodcut, 1965, 16-3/4 x 10, no stated ed. but probably small, glue residue showing at margin corners, Slight foxing and handling creases in margins, signed and dated in pencil, on cream japan paper.  Langdown was a prominent South African painter and also a masterful and prolific printmaker, who favored native South African subjects in his work. He won a grant from the South African governmet to study abroad in Holland, and had a distinguished career as an art educator as well. A fine, richly inked impression of this evocative mid century color woodcut by this well respected South African artist.  Uncommon.
