Two Peasant Women Before a Small Baptistry (above); Venice, Grand Canal (beow) is a 1878 ink by Luca Beltrami, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two etchings on a single sheet of paper. The top etching depicts a small baptistry with two peasant women standing in front of it. The bottom etching shows a view of the Grand Canal in Venice, with a large domed building in the background. The etchings are done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The use of etching as a medium adds a sense of depth and dimensionality to the images.
