A mother with parasol and wearing a long dress and broad brimmed hat walks down a street with a child Very well observed scene of a mother and child walking down a lane in a village 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 tonal variations to indicate shadows, perfectly captured in this picture. A lovely etching of an historic scene. The work is signed in pencil beneath the plate mark.
