About this work

This small print shows a quiet scene in a wooded area. A woman in a long dress stands near a tree, looking toward a group of people sitting on a bench under a small shelter. The trees are bare, and the ground is covered in dry leaves. The artist used red ink to make the lines stand out against the light background. This was done with a technique called etching and drypoint. Next, look up etching, drypoint to see how artists create prints like this.
