About this work

The painting shows an old arch with trees and a wall around it. It's an etching, which is a way of making prints from metal plates. The artist made this in 1810, but I'm not sure what inspired it - maybe the place was special to them. You can learn more about this kind of printmaking by looking into the technique: etching.
