DAVID A. HARDY · PLUTO AND CHARON · NUMBERED GOUTTELETTE™ PRINT · FELIX ROSENSTIEL’S EDITION
LUXURY FINE ART PRINT ON THICK WATERCOLOUR-TYPE PAPER, NUMBERED 3 AND WITH PUBLISHER’S CERTIFICATE
An original numbered gouttelette™ fine art print of Pluto and Charon by celebrated space artist David A. Hardy, printed by the London publishing house Felix Rosenstiel’s and accompanied by their official numbered certificate.
This example is numbered “3” in the edition, that is to say the third print produced in this format, an appealingly early number for collectors. The composition is one of Hardy’s dramatic and imaginative visions of the outer Solar System, depicting Pluto in the sky above its moon Charon.
The subject has particular visual appeal: Charon, at roughly half the diameter of Pluto, is shown in cooler grey-blue tones, while Pluto itself appears in warmer reddish hues, reflecting the differing character and composition of the two bodies. The image has all the depth, atmosphere and cosmic drama for which Hardy’s astronomical art is so admired.
