About this work

This print shows a lone figure walking along a water’s edge at dusk. The person’s face is blurred, and their body is simple, almost sketchy. Behind them, trees and bushes are dark against a pale sky, with a few scattered birds flying. The artist used loose, rough lines to make the scene feel dreamy. The water below looks still, with the person’s reflection barely visible. Look up etching to see how artists like this make prints with acid and metal plates.
