A woman sits alone in a grassy field, her hands folded in her lap. She wears a dark dress and a bonnet, looking down. Around her, geese and ducklings wander near a small patch of water. The background shows a fence and some trees, but everything feels quiet and still. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel soft. This is an etching, which means the image was carved into metal and printed. Look up etching to see how artists create these detailed prints.
