Vintage 1977 original serigraph diptych on paper by American artist Julita Jones, combining two zebra images presented side by side on a single cream mat.
The left panel, titled 'Zebra Without Stripes', shows a white silhouette zebra standing in a grassy field beneath a pale blue sky with soft clouds.
The right panel, titled 'Stripes', presents the same standing animal rendered in bold black zebra striping against the same simplified landscape setting.
Flat areas of sky blue, white, green, and black create a clean graphic effect typical of 1970s figurative serigraphy, with the diptych playfully contrasting the absence and presence of stripes.
Medium and production: hand-pulled serigraphs (screenprints) on cover paper, created in the artist's Laguna Beach, California studio in 1977; a certificate of authenticity on the reverse notes a limited edition of 50 impressions plus 4 artist's proofs, with all stencils destroyed after printing.
Inscriptions: each image is pencil-titled along the lower margin, marked Artist's Proof, and signed Julita Jones, confirming this example as one of the artist's proof sets from the edition.
Subject and theme: zebra study, animal portraiture, and visual play with pattern and identity, suited to collections of wildlife art, nature illustration, and modern screenprints.
Presentation: both prints are mounted within rectangular openings on a single cream-colored mat under a clear front sheet, attached to a brown backing board that carries a printed Julita Jones serigraph and etching information sheet, the signed certificate of authenticity, and a clipped Wee Pals comic strip about zebra stripes.
Actual Measurements: overall mat about 12 in x 28 in; each serigraph image about 9 in x 12 in.
