About this work

This black-and-white print shows two people walking through a dimly lit archway at night. The person on the left stands still, holding something in their hand, while the person on the right leans on a cane, looking down. The arch frames a dark, empty space behind them, with bare trees and a faint glow in the distance. The artist used shading to create depth, making the scene feel quiet and mysterious. This print is made using a technique that layers lines and textures for shading. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists create these detailed prints.
