About this work

This print shows two women in a garden. One woman stands holding a fan, wearing a fancy hat and a flowing dress. The other woman is lying on the ground, surrounded by flowers and a small dog. Trees and a stone wall frame the scene, and the women’s clothes look soft and detailed. The title *Colin Maillard* hints at a game where players wear blindfolds—maybe the standing woman is teasing the other. The artist used fine lines to show fabric and shadows. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints with acid and needles.
