Status
Not on viewLabel TextThis is Darling's earliest know etching. It is deeply bitten and the streaky plate tone suggests a night sky. The low horizon emphasizes the height and bulk of the figure. The boat is loaded with carcasses of ducks. The print is similar to, but smaller than, "The End of the Day".
