From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Meal Time is a 1883 ink by William Strang, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows five people sitting outside near a river. A woman in a bonnet holds a baby, while a man in a hat leans on a cane. Another man sits with his legs stretched out, and two kids play on the ground. The background has trees, a fence, and a distant landscape. The artist used lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel real. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Strang created these detailed prints.
