A range of farm buildings with a hay cart and two figures in the yard Lovely etching of a farmyard with two figures standing in front of a door. The work was produced from an incised copper plate that has been inked and printed in a press. We would refer you to the Glossary for a detailed description of the process of etching. The work is full of richly observed detail accentuated by hatching and the use of tone to indicate shadows. This is perfectly captured on the sides of the buildings away from sunlight. The work is monogrammed in the plate and then signed in pencil below the plate mark. Executed while the artist was resident in Northumberland.
