Kestrel

Kestrel by Karl Martens is a lithograph on 356gsm ARCH watercolour paper, presenting a realistic and finely observed depiction of a kestrel. Rendered in a harmonious blend of beiges, browns, and soft yellows, the bird’s form is brought to life through delicate contouring and subtle shifts in tone that highlight the texture of its feathers and the structure of its body. Shown in mid-step, the kestrel appears to be walking, adding a sense of movement to the composition. Vivid yellow accents around the beak and eye draw immediate attention, providing a striking contrast within the otherwise earthy palette.

H/C - 'Hors Commerce' translates to 'out of trade' in English. HCs are similar to APs (Artist's Proofs), but the key difference is that HCs are exclusively available from the artist. They are often gifted to the artist as a token of appreciation for permitting the publisher to produce their images. Due to their rarity, HCs are considered the most valuable among special edition prints.
