1896
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Kingston Bank, No.2 is a 1896 ink by Frank Short, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet riverbank scene with people and animals. On the left, a woman stands near a cart loaded with hay, while another woman wades in shallow water, holding a cow’s reins. In the background, a boat floats on the river, and a few figures work near a small dock. The sky is soft and cloudy, with muted browns and grays dominating the scene. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially in the water and clouds. This style was common in prints meant to capture everyday life. Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Sir Francis Job Short PPRE (19 June 1857 – 22 April 1945) was a British printmaker and teacher of printmaking.
