Going Out in the Morning is a 1779 ink by Robert Blyth, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a tired-looking man carrying a heavy sack on his back while a smaller figure leans on him. The man is barefoot, wearing a loose shirt and pants, and holds a long stick. Behind them, bushes and a rocky path stretch into the distance. The title at the top calls this *"Going Out in the Morning,"* but the scene looks more like hard work than a fresh start. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like the folds in the man’s clothes or the rough ground. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
