Archway Close Cobb Ernest Etching Fence Form Leading Simple Victor 1921

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching from the year 1920, created by the skilled hand of Victor Ernest Cobb. This exquisite work of art transports us to a simpler time, evoking a sense of tranquility and peace. The image opens with a humble wooden fence, its weathered planks bearing the marks of time and the elements. The fence leads us to a quaint farm outbuilding, its rustic charm standing in stark contrast to the modern world. The building, with its aged wooden walls and thatched roof, seems to be nestled in the heart of nature, surrounded by the verdant hues of the countryside. The background of "Close of Day" is dominated by a natural archway of trees, their branches forming a graceful canopy over the scene. The trees, with their vibrant autumn colors, add a touch of warmth and depth to the composition. The sun, setting behind the trees, casts a golden glow over the landscape, bathing it in a soft, ethereal light. The intricate details of the etching are a testament to Cobb's mastery of the medium. From the textured wood grain of the fence to the delicate foliage of the trees, every detail is rendered with precision and care. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, creating a sense of depth and perspective that draws the viewer in. "Close of Day" is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures of rural life, and the enduring beauty of nature. This etching, a part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for any art lover or collector of historical prints. Whether displayed in a home or office, "Close of Day" is sure to inspire awe and admiration for generations to come.
