prints made by the technique of drypoint engraving Explanation: The definition of "puntasecca" is "tecnica d'incisione su metallo ottenuta tracciando un solco leggero con una punta sotile di diamante o d'acciaio| l'opera compiuta con tale tecnica| l'attrezzo a punta usato per tale tecnica." www.demauroparavia.it/88957 It is a technique of engraving on metals, in which a sharp-pointed needle is used or a print made by this technique. I have used the search engine Google and have found out that the term "drypoint engraving" is written in 1,120 English websites. Here is an example of its usage: "prints taken from a drypoint engraving have a special velvety black line." Reference: http://www.djtfineart.com/Fine_Art_Faq.html |
