Farms in a Court

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a village with simple wooden houses and thatched roofs. Trees line the edges, and a river runs through the middle. People and animals move around, some walking, others tending to the land. The artist used fine lines to create texture, like the rough bark of trees or the folds in clothing. This was done with etching, where acid bites into metal plates to make the image. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one made detailed prints.
