Woman with a Donkey Driver is a 1712 ink by Joachim Franz Beich, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet countryside scene. A woman leads a donkey along a dirt path, while another person sits nearby. Trees line the path, and hills roll in the background under a cloudy sky. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, giving the scene depth. This was a common way to make etchings look almost like drawings. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
