Limited-edition prints by Carl Brenders, both issued by Mill Pond Press, and both pencil-signed by Brenders on the lower right margin. Includes the large color lithograph “One to One - Gray Wolf”. The wolf lies low among tawny grasses and lichen-speckled granite; Brenders’ plate signature appears in red at the lower right of the image, with his full pencil signature beneath the image at far right. The print is hand-numbered 2215/12,000 at lower left; at the foot you can read the caption “ONE TO ONE - GRAY WOLF - Carl Brenders” and the Mill Pond imprint “Published by Mill Pond Press, Inc., Venice, Florida… Printed in U.S.A.” along with © 1991 Carl Brenders (all visible in the margins). Also includes the matching black-and-white companion print “Study for One to One” (captioned as such at center; noted as a pencil drawing), depicting three wolves resting among the same rock and grass habitat; it is hand-numbered 1706/1,920 at lower left and pencil-signed at lower right, with © 1991 Carl Brenders and the same Mill Pond imprint. Both sheets present with wide, bright margins, crisp corners, and no visible creases, tears, stains, or toning - overall excellent, unframed condition, ready to mat and frame to gallery standards.
This paired presentation is especially attractive to high-end wildlife collectors because it unites Brenders’ finished, photorealistic color composition with the scarcer developmental “Study” edition (edition 1,920, substantially smaller than the main release), offering both the artist’s process and his signature hyper-detailed finish in one cohesive display. Mill Pond Press provenance, full margins, matching 1991 dates, and clear pencil signatures all check the boxes seasoned buyers look for. The imagery - keen wolf eyes peering through autumn grasses - remains among Brenders’ most recognizable wolf works and performs well in rustic, lodge, and contemporary nature interiors alike.
