Going to Market is a 1889 ink by Edith Penman, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet country road with two people riding in a wagon. The wagon is pulled by a horse, and the road curves gently through a wooded area with scattered trees and bushes. A small stream runs alongside the path, and there’s a rustic fence and a few buildings in the background. The artist used fine lines to capture the texture of the trees and the rough terrain. The scene feels calm, like a slow day in the countryside. Next, look up etching to see how artists create these detailed prints.
