About this work

This drawing shows a messy pile of travel-worn shoes and a hat on the floor. A cane leans against the wall, and a small suitcase sits half-open nearby. The lines are rough and scratchy, making everything look worn and real. The title *Souvenirs de voyage* hints these items are reminders of a trip. The artist used a sharp tool to carve into the metal plate, creating the texture you see. Next, look up etching to see how artists make prints this way.
