Summer by the Lakeside is a 1883 ink by Elbridge Kingsley, a Impressionism work, depicting moonlight, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman sits on a grassy bank by a calm lake. She wears a long dress and holds a basket of fruit. A small dog curls at her feet. This 1883 wood engraving shows summer leisure in a quiet, rural spot. The fine lines create soft shadows and smooth textures. It’s a tiny print, only 7 by 10 inches. Look up how engraving works at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
