This print shows a desert scene with a dry riverbed in the foreground. Tall cacti stand on either side, while bushes and small plants dot the sandy ground. In the distance, a line of dark mountains meets a cloudy sky. The artist used a green tint over the whole piece, giving it an eerie glow. The title says it’s the Verde River on the Apache Reservation in Arizona. Want to know more? Check out the technique: drypoint.
