About this work

Overview

The Lovers' Walk, No.2 is a print created by Francis Seymour Haden in 1864 using etching and drypoint techniques on laid paper.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a serene forest scene with a winding path, a central stream, and figures near a background building. The loose, scratchy lines evoke a sense of spontaneity.

Technique & Style

Haden employed etching and drypoint to achieve a textured appearance, allowing ink to collect in the plate's grooves. This enabled the production of multiple prints from a single image.
