Intricate gold and black etching by Mexican artist Maximino Javier depicting a mythic horseman surrounded by densely layered symbolic imagery, animals, fish, birds, and ornamental motifs. The composition reflects Javier’s highly detailed graphic style, blending elements of folklore, mythology, and surreal figuration within a carefully structured decorative framework.

The central rider is enclosed within nested borders populated by fantastic creatures and symbolic objects, creating an image that rewards close viewing and emphasizes the artist’s mastery of line and pattern. Printed in a limited edition and signed by the artist in pencil lower right.

Light toning and soft discoloration consistent with age. The work presents well.
