Woman and Child Walking to Church is a 1819 ink by Johann Christoph Erhard, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two figures walking along a dirt path in a wooded area. The taller person wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long dress, holding what looks like a basket or book. The smaller figure beside them also wears a hat and a simple dress. Trees with thick branches fill the background, and the ground is covered in grass and small plants. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in the trees and clothing. The scene feels quiet and natural, with no extra details to distract from the two people. This is an example of the technique: etching.
Johann Christoph Erhard (1795–1822) was a German artist, born in Nuremberg.
