Henry Wolf made this in 1894, aged 42. It is now at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC.
How it was made
- Engraving
- Lines cut directly into a metal plate with a steel burin, which makes them swell and taper. It took years to master, and for centuries it was how paintings travelled as pictures.
