This elegant vertical composition features four hand-cast white intaglios inspired by Nantucket maritime symbolism. Arranged in a refined column, the motifs include a scallop shell, two famous lighthouses, and a Nantucket map, each rendered in soft relief and unified by their sculptural simplicity.
Set against a subtly textured, sand-toned background, the intaglios evoke weathered docks, coastal light, and the quiet rhythm of seaside life. The slim white frame and elongated format give the piece a clean, contemporary feel while preserving the classical roots of traditional intaglio collecting.
The vertical orientation makes this work especially suited for narrow wall spaces, hallways, stairwells, or as a balancing element in a layered gallery wall.
