Woman on a sunken road, print, The woman carries a stick on her shoulder. In the background trees and bushes., printmaker: Anton L. Koster (signed by artist), 1869 - 1937, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 228 mm x width 136 mm, road, path, carrying something on the head or on the shoulders, A narrow vertical sketch in pen and ink shows a winding dirt path cutting through tall, densely hatched grasses and rough terrain, with a solitary figure standing on the path wearing a long dress and holding a long, thin object across the shoulders; the figure faces forward. Large, darkly shaded bushes and trees occupy the middle ground, their foliage rendered with short, dense strokes, while a taller, more detailed tree rises with sparser branch and leaf lines toward the top. The sky is filled with horizontal, parallel hatch marks and a wispy cloud shape. The foreground contains textured ground markings and tufts of grass drawn with varied line density, and the overall image has an aged, sepia-toned paper background.
