Figures fishing with nets in a bay with a lighthouse on the headland and sailing boats out to sea

A very interesting etching of fishermen casting nets in a bay. 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 toning to give the impression of gloom and the approach of night. The work has full margins.
