About this work

This sketch shows a quiet beach at night. The sand is smooth and empty. A few bare trees stand in the middle, their branches twisted. In the distance, a dark hill curves against a pale sky. The artist used many lines to show light and shadow. The paper looks worn, like it’s been handled a lot. The date is signed in the corner: 1891. Want to know more? Look up etching.
