This framed limited edition offset lithograph, titled Going to the Spring, is after an original watercolor by Paul Sawyier. The landscape composition depicts two figures walking along a path in a misty autumnal field, featuring a large haystack to the right and a small wooden bridge crossing a stream in the foreground. The print is a numbered edition, with a printed number reading 1309 of 2000 in the lower right margin. It features several printed inscriptions within the margins: Plate Number 22 and Copyright 1972 by Paul Sawyier Galleries, Inc. appear at the bottom left; From The Private Collection of Miss Margaret King is printed at the top right. A facsimile signature reading PAUL SAWYIER is visible in the lower right of the image itself. The work is presented in a double mat, consisting of a textured green fabric outer mat and a narrow brown inner mat, and is housed in a dark-wash wooden frame with a decorative grain. The reverse of the frame bears a framer’s stamp reading Hatfield and Sons Picture Framing 302 Kenwood Way 368-6863.Frame: 23 1/2 x 23 1/2 inches.
