This image shows a branch with long, narrow leaves and two fuzzy green fruits hanging from it. Nearby, there’s a small flower with five pale petals and a seed pod shaped like a teardrop. The background is a plain, light beige color. The title at the bottom reads *Amandier de la Georgie*, which means "almond tree of Georgia." The artist used a careful, detailed style to show every leaf and fruit clearly. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one create sharp, precise lines with acid and metal plates.
