About this work

This black-and-white print shows a small boat floating on calm water at night. A lone figure sits near the front, looking toward the shore. Tall trees line the bank, their branches swirling in the dark. The artist used sharp lines to create deep shadows and bright spots, making the scene feel quiet and mysterious. This is an etching, where the image is carved into a metal plate. Look up etching to see how artists like Hopper make prints this way.
