About this work

This etching shows three figures in a line. The lady in the middle has her right arm outstretched, wearing a long dress and a cloak. To her left, a man is walking away, dressed in a hat, cloak, and breeches. On the right, another man walks towards the viewer, holding a cane and wearing a hat and cloak. The figures are drawn in a simple, elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The background is blank, which helps the figures stand out.
