1883
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Errand is a 1883 ink by William Strang, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows three people in a wooded area. A woman stands holding a child’s hand, while another child sits nearby with a basket. The background has a village and trees, drawn with fine lines. The artist used shading to show light and texture, like the woman’s hat or the child’s clothes. This is a print, not a painting, made by scratching into metal. Look up etching to see how artists like this create prints.
William Strang (13 February 1859 – 12 April 1921) was a Scottish painter and printmaker, notable for illustrating the works of Bunyan, Cervantes, Coleridge, Kipling, and others.
