The Voyage to Paris

About this work

This black-and-white print shows two women in a wooded area. One sits on a bench, holding a basket and looking down, while the other stands, pointing toward a path ahead. The trees are dense, with thick branches and leaves framing the scene. The woman standing wears a long dress and a hat, and the one sitting has a simpler outfit with a headscarf. The artist used fine lines to show details like the folds in their clothes and the texture of the trees. This kind of printmaking is called etching. Look up etching to see how artists carve into metal plates to make prints.
