We always have a large selection available, covering many different subjects
Gerard Brender à Brandis began his career as an artist specializing in wood engraving in 1965, and is a master of his craft. His engravings are based on his own sketches of subjects from nature, including landscapes, old buildings and still life. Some hand-coloured examples are also available. Every engraving is hand-printed on quality paper. Selected engravings are available on the Grey Gallery online shop.
