About this work

This image shows a crowded room full of people dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The faces are blurry, but you can see some holding drinks and talking. Above them, a row of small, faded portraits watches from the top—some look Native American, others European. The artist used a mix of printmaking methods to create this. The faces in the crowd are sharp, while the portraits above are softer and ghostly. Check out etching to see how artists use acid and plates to make prints like this.
