Artist, British, 1905 - 1984

The image shows a scene with a body of water in the foreground and a densely vegetated area in the background. The horizon is low in the composition, emphasizing the trees and plants. A village or structures can be seen in the distance to the left. The etching technique creates texture through a mix of short, scratchy, and long lines. The color palette is monochromatic in black and white. Two figures are depicted by the water, possibly fishing, surrounded by detailed vegetation. In the background, a village and structures are lightly sketched, framed by foliage.
