About this work

This image shows a woman sitting on a bench, resting her feet in the water. She’s holding a pillow on her lap, looking down. The lines are dark and scratchy, like the artist pressed hard into the paper. The artist used a technique that lets them carve fine details into the plate. This one looks like a quiet moment, not a grand scene. Check out etching to see how artists make these kinds of prints.
