Caption

Dolby at a harbor, print, printmaker: Maurits van der Valk (signed by artist), 1867 - 1914, paper, etching, drypoint, intaglio printmaking technique, height 201 mm x width 119 mm, harbor, A sepia-toned etching shows a close-up view of a weathered wooden mooring structure rising from calm water, with thick, rough posts tied together and topped by rounded caps, their textured wood grain and vertical planks rendered in dark, sketchy lines; the structure casts a reflected, rippled silhouette on the water below. In the background a low horizon line contains loosely drawn outlines of sailboats and masts scattered across the water, and the sky above is filled with light, curving strokes suggesting wispy clouds. The overall composition is composed of fine cross-hatched marks and scratchy ink lines on a textured, aged paper surface.
