After the Hounds

About this work

This print shows a woman riding a horse through a wooded area. She wears a long coat, a hat, and holds the reins loosely. Around her, a pack of dogs runs ahead, chasing something unseen. The trees are bare, and the ground is rocky with patches of grass. The artist used shading to show texture—notice how the horse’s fur and the dogs’ coats look almost three-dimensional. This was a way to add depth without color. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one used acid and metal plates to create detailed prints.
