At the Gate (Am Thor) is a 1887 ink by Max Klinger, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a woman in a long dress and hat standing by a fancy wrought-iron gate. Behind her, two large doors are open, revealing a dark hallway. To the left, a man in a coat is bending down, picking up something small from the ground. The gate has intricate designs, including a clock face and decorative swirls. The scene feels quiet and ordinary, like a moment frozen in time. Next, look up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this one.
