About the artwork

A strange, dreamlike etching: a row of detached church spires and onion domes balanced along the top edge of a dark, downward-pointing triangle filled with a diamond lattice. The spires float against a near-black ground, and the triangle hangs below them like an inverted, netted skirt. Alexandrov plays the crisp tower silhouettes against deep aquatint shadow. Roughly 14.5 by 12.5 centimetres. Numbered 5/100 and signed Alexandrov 03.
