This very rare, sold-out Sam Toft print comes from the same special collection as other secondary-market works we are offering. The current owner is reluctantly selling these pieces and hopes to rehome them somewhere they will be appreciated and loved. It is a pleasure to bring them to The Braithwaite Gallery in York, the northern home of all things Tofty for more than two decades and one of Sam’s biggest fans.
This is the black-and-white study for the later published colour limited edition Being With You Is Like Coming Home LIMITED EDITION by Sam Toft.
