Celebrate a beloved Southern landmark with this original etching by American artist Don Swann, titled “Old Well, U. of N.C.” This finely detailed print captures the iconic Old Well at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an enduring symbol of tradition, scholarship, and Southern heritage.
Rendered in warm sepia tones, Swann’s etching beautifully portrays the classical rotunda framed by towering trees and historic campus buildings. Each print in this limited edition of 300 was individually signed in pencil by the artist and features the edition number handwritten in the lower margin.
The piece is elegantly presented in its original wood frame with linen matting, accompanied by the artist’s biography and authenticity label affixed to the back. A wonderful piece of collegiate Americana, ideal for alumni, art collectors, or anyone with an appreciation for classic etching craftsmanship.
