Snow is a 1910 ink by George Elbert Burr, depicting Snow, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a snowy scene with trees and a quiet atmosphere. This work is interesting because it's a drypoint print, which is a technique where the artist scratches a design into a plate to create the image. The details are subtle, with varying lines and textures. To learn more about the artist's use of shading and contrast, look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
George Elbert Burr (April 14, 1859 – November 17, 1939 ) was an American printmaker and painter best known for his etchings and drypoints of the desert and mountain regions of the American West.
