About this work
Bertha E. Jaques made this (n.d.). It is now at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC.
How it was made
- Drypoint
- Lines scratched straight into the plate with a needle throw up a ridge of metal, the burr, which holds ink and prints a soft, furred line. The burr wears down, so early impressions are the richest.
- Hand-coloured
- Printed in black, then coloured by hand in watercolour, one sheet at a time.
Bertha E. Jaques
born Covington, OH 1863-died Chicago IL 1941
