25¢

This Ana Inciardi mini print depicts a pencil rubbing of an American quarter, rendered in graphite gray tones with careful ink linework tracing the coin's circular border, portrait profile, and lettering. The obverse of the coin faces the viewer, showing George Washington in left-facing profile with "LIBERTY" arching across the top and "IN GOD WE TRUST" visible near the bust. A date reading 1997 appears along the bottom of the coin's face. The image sits centered on white paper, with "25¢" handwritten in the lower left corner and "ANA INC" in the lower right, grounding the print in Inciardi's characteristic hand-annotated style. The Washington quarter has been a staple of American currency since 1932, originally minted to commemorate the two-hundredth anniversary of George Washington's birth. The familiar portrait design, executed by sculptor John Flanagan, remained largely unchanged for decades and is one of the most recognized coin faces in circulation. Collectors are drawn to this print because it captures something genuinely commonplace with a quiet precision that elevates it. The coin rubbing technique is a childhood gesture reimagined as deliberate art, and Inciardi's hand-lettered notation gives it a notebook-like intimacy that resonates with collectors who appreciate her small-scale, observational approach. It fits naturally alongside her other object studies and pairs well with her other food prints and everyday subject matter, as a category within her catalog that treats ordinary things with the same careful attention she brings to all her subjects. For collectors building a set around her domestic and material world themes, this print anchors that grouping with particular clarity.
