About this work

You see a quiet scene with buildings and a canal in the painting. The artist used simple lines to create depth. The scene feels peaceful, with the sun shining down, and this makes the etching interesting because it shows the artist's ability to convey a mood with just a few details. It's similar to work by artist: MacLaughlan, Donald Shaw.
