About the Item

Two Trees with Perspective III (TP) Etching and aquatint with hand-coloring, Trial Proof (TP) Signed and titled in pencil Framed This luminous etching and aquatint by David Smith-Harrison presents a solitary flowering tree rendered with remarkable delicacy and depth. The work belongs to the artist’s celebrated Two Trees with Perspective series, but this impression is a trial proof, distinguished by subtle touches of hand-coloring that differ from the final edition. These small shifts in hue—particularly in the blossoms and foreground textures—add a unique warmth and immediacy to the print. Smith-Harrison’s technical mastery is evident in the finely articulated branches, atmospheric color aquatint, and the distinctive checkered perspective grid in the lower portion of the composition—a recurring visual device in his landscape imagery. The result is a serene yet meticulously constructed scene that balances realism with quiet poetic abstraction. David Smith-Harrison studied at Utah State University and served as studio assistant to Adrian Van Stuchelen and Moishe Smith. In 1983 he traveled in Europe and studied at the Art and Design Faculty of South Glamorgan Institute in Cardiff, Wales. Before leaving for Europe, Smith-Harrison began an intense professional association as a studio assistant to artist Trevor Southey. Smith-Harrison’s imagery is distinctive for its meticulous and studied execution and rigorous, demanding craftsmanship. The results are generally rich in subtle articulations and poetic spirit. His work is located in private collection in Japan, Taiwan, Republic of China, Spain and the United States.
