This etching has a lovely perspective, a snapshot of everyday life in a simpler time. The artist pairs beautiful technique with a charming scene. It can seem mundane, but the simplicity is familiar and comforting. A child stands at the gate, a dog barks at a pedestrian, and a man leans against his bike while he talks with a neighbor. Though it comes from a different time, many of the activities pictured are pleasant parts of our routines today.
