The Brook is a 1926 ink by George Overbury Hart, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman and a child by water. The woman sits on a rock, her legs dangling in the stream. The child stands in the water, reaching up toward her. The colors are soft—blues, greens, and earthy browns—with a dreamy, blurry look. The artist used a mix of printmaking methods to create this piece. The lines and textures look hand-drawn, almost like a sketch. Next, look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists make prints like this.
