Pelletier Untitled (Rural Barn) Etching

Updated August 7, 2026

Original etching, signed and numbered Image Size: 3.5 × 2.5 in. (plate approximately 3.5 × 4 in.) Frame Size: 11 × 9.5 in. Edition: 77/150 Signed: Lower right, Pelletier '76 (1976). An original signed etching depicting a weathered rural barn nestled among mature deciduous trees. Executed with crisp line work and subtle tonal contrasts, the composition captures the quiet charm of the Canadian countryside. The artist skillfully renders the texture of the aged wooden structure and surrounding foliage, creating a peaceful pastoral scene characteristic of late twentieth-century Canadian printmaking. Artist Biography Pelletier was an active Canadian printmaker during the latter half of the twentieth century. Although published biographical information is limited, signed etchings dated to the 1970s are encountered on the Canadian secondary market, primarily depicting rural architecture and pastoral landscapes. His works are appreciated for their finely controlled draftsmanship, delicate tonal etching, and evocative portrayals of traditional Canadian farmsteads and countryside scenes.
