About this work

This etching shows two tired hunters with their dogs and game bags after a hunt. Their boots are muddy, their clothes rumpled. The dogs look just as worn out. Stephen James Ferris used fine lines here to show light and shadow. The details are sharp but the mood stays calm. You can almost feel the quiet after all that running.
