About this work
Kerr Eby made this in 1927, aged 38. It is now at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC.
How it was made
- Etching
- The artist draws with a needle through a waxy coating on a copper plate, and acid bites the exposed lines. The plate is then inked, wiped and printed under pressure, so the line keeps the freedom of drawing.
