About this work

This etching in black, titled "Old Lace," presents a serene landscape. The composition features a body of water in the foreground, with a small boat to the right and a larger one to the left. A stone wall runs along the water's edge, topped with a metal fence that stretches across the width of the image. In the background, trees and buildings are visible, set against a cloudy sky. The artist's use of etching creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The contrast between the dark lines and the lighter areas adds visual interest to the scene.
