A World of Our Own
$385.00
A World of Our Own is an original etching by Jo Barry. A horse stands beneath barren trees in wintertime. Like many of Barry’s etchings, this work was inspired by the New Forest in England, which was once a royal hunting ground for William the Conquerer. Her labor-intensive etchings, which sometimes take up to six months to complete, often feature this particular breed of New Forest ponies.
