About this work

You see two people in this etching. They are standing close together. The artist made this in 1916, which is interesting because it was during a time of war in Europe, and this quiet scene is a contrast to that. The way the artist used lines to create texture is notable. It adds depth to the simple scene. Check out the technique: etching.
