Roy Elwin Tomilson "Goshawk" Pencil-Signed Limited

Updated September 18, 2026

Roy Elwin Tomilson, Goshawk, a beautifully conceived pencil-signed, titled and numbered limited-edition fine art print, edition 15/40, presenting a dramatic goshawk in flight across an expansive prairie landscape dominated by the elegant vertical silhouette of a traditional farm windmill. Tomilson's exceptionally restrained composition derives much of its power from negative space: the immense open sky, softly undulating terrain and isolated mechanical structure create a striking sense of distance, stillness and elemental exposure, while the airborne raptor provides the work's decisive point of movement and life. Executed in a sophisticated monochromatic blue-gray palette, the image balances natural and man-made forms with remarkable economy, the sweeping profile of the goshawk set against the precise linear geometry of the windmill. The resulting composition carries strong appeal beyond conventional wildlife art, functioning equally successfully as a minimalist rural landscape and an evocative meditation on flight, wind and the vastness of open country. Signed in pencil by Roy Elwin Tomilson at lower right, titled Goshawk at lower left and individually numbered 15/40, the work comes from a notably small edition of only 40 impressions, an especially desirable characteristic for collectors of signed limited-edition works on paper. A blind-embossed printer's, publisher's or workshop mark appears at lower right, and the image is further distinguished by a crisply embossed rectangular presentation border. The combination of confirmed artist attribution, identified title, pencil signature, low edition size and highly collectible bird-of-prey subject gives Goshawk particularly strong crossover interest for collectors of Roy Elwin Tomilson art, signed limited-edition prints, wildlife art, ornithological art, goshawk and raptor imagery, bird-of-prey prints, prairie landscapes, rural and agricultural art, windmill imagery, minimalist landscape compositions and vintage works on paper. Paper dimensions: 18 x 22 in. (45.7 x 55.9 cm). The sheet presents attractively overall, with an irregular deckle-like edge visible along the left side and no readily apparent major tears, losses or severe staining.
