About MeEdinburgh born Andrew Geddes taking inspiration from Van Dyck's masterpiece 'The Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia' to create this skilled drypoint etching on paper. Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking method that involves scratching an image into a plate with a pointed tool. These lines create a burr that holds ink which can then be transferred to paper when pressure is applied.
