Bit of Central Park is a 1918 ink by Charles Frederick William Mielatz, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet lake in Central Park. Trees line the shore, and a big, old building with many windows sits in the background. The water is calm, with a small boat floating near the center. The artist used shading to make the scene feel peaceful and still. The trees and building are drawn with fine lines, while the water has soft, wavy marks. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how prints like this are made.
Charles Frederick William Mielatz (né Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Mielatz; May 24, 1864 – July 2, 1919) was a Prussian-born American etcher, graphic artist, painter, lithographer, and educator.
