1889
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Goldsmith's Daughter is a 1889 ink by Daniel Huntington, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a woman holding a large, ornate vase. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a high-necked dress with lace trim and intricate patterns. The vase has detailed carvings, and her hands rest gently on it. The artist used shading to make the textures pop, especially on her dress and the vase. This technique makes the scene look almost three-dimensional. Next, check out the technique: etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists create depth like this.
Daniel Huntington (October 4, 1816 – April 19, 1906) was an American artist who belonged to the art movement known as the Hudson River School and later became a prominent portrait painter.
