This print shows a woman in old-fashioned clothes pushing a pram. Her face is turned away. The background is dark. The pram holds a small round basket. This odd scene feels off. The woman’s shadow stretches long and wavy. The basket in the pram looks empty. The mix of etching, drypoint and aquatint makes soft areas and sharp lines together. Look up how Buhot, Félix-Hilaire used these techniques in his prints.
