About this work

Overview

Untitled (River Scene with Boat) is a 1891 etching by Charles A. Platt, rendered in black. The work depicts a serene river scene.

Subject & Meaning

The print features a small boat sailing towards the horizon on a river with rough, wave-filled waters. The surrounding landscape is sparse, with trees and bushes on the left bank and a low, flat shore on the right.

Technique & Style

Platt employed scratching and hatching techniques to create texture, giving the water a sense of movement. This approach was characteristic of etchings from the late 19th century.
