Estéban (Steve) Edwards Hand-Colored Etching 33/100 – Franciscan Shepherd
Peaceful and evocative hand-colored etching by Estéban (Steve) Edwards (1942–2010), signed and numbered 33/100 in pencil. This composition portrays a Franciscan friar tending his flock along the Rio Grande, gazing across a vast Southwestern plain toward distant blue mesas. A gentle river winds through the scene, while two lambs graze at the friar’s side — symbols of humility and devotion.
Executed with fine etched linework and delicate watercolor washes, the piece conveys both narrative simplicity and spiritual grace, characteristic of Edwards’ Southwestern devotional series. Presented under glass with a double mat in cream and brown, housed in an ornate metallic frame that complements its warmth and tone.

A companion in theme and scale to Edwards’ Franciscan with Burro, Rio Grande (11/100), this etching further explores the artist’s reverent portrayal of faith and solitude in the Southwestern landscape. Both compositions reflect Edwards’ mastery of etched line and watercolor nuance — timeless, contemplative, and regionally authentic.
