This etching shows a dark, crumbly stone house with a sagging roof. Small shutters hang crooked over empty windows. Ivy climbs the walls like it’s trying to hold the place together. Signorini etched this in 1883. He used drypoint—scratching lines into a metal plate—so the shadows feel rough and real. See how the light barely reaches the door? That’s drypoint at work.
