About this work

Karel Dujardin made this. It is now at the National Gallery of Art 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.

Karel Dujardin

Dutch, 1626–1678
