Blackcap 2015, a Limited Edition etching by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. This Edition sits parallel to the series of prints titled First Flight which were included in the artist’s solo exhibition Verses After Dusk at the Serpentine Gallery.

Blackcap is a portrait of a male character in profile and, as with a number of works by the artist, is titled after a bird. This etching was created using traditional drawing techniques onto a copper plate. It is a continuation of the artist’s exploration of the motifs and conventions of European art history through a focus on methodologies, structure and composition.
