Description:

For sale is a striking, original 1973 hand-pulled relief print (woodcut or linocut) by regional artist Carl E. Larson.

This powerfully expressive, high-contrast block print is rendered in dark and warm orange-red ink. It depicts a dramatic biblical portrait based on the Last Supper narrative from Matthew 26:25.

The bottom margin features detailed handwritten pencil notes by the artist:

• Left: Titled "THEN JUDAS SPOKE, 'RABBI, CAN YOU MEAN ME?'"

• Center: Hand-signed "Carl E. Larson"

• Right: Dated "March 14, 1973" followed by the notation "Imp." (impressit), signifying that the artist physically hand-pulled this exact impression himself.

Condition:

The print is in excellent vintage condition with strong ink saturation and clean edges. It has been newly and professionally framed and matted under glass at Michael's. The clean, modern presentation ensures the paper is perfectly flat, stable, and ready to hang.
