A Fresh Breeze from the Sea

Walter Satterlee

National Gallery of Art

The etching shows a person standing in a grassy or bushy landscape near a body of water. The individual is standing with a large brimmed hat held to their head with both hands, leaning slightly forward. Facial features are obscured by the hat. They have a light complexion, and their hair is tucked under the hat. The person wears a long coat that reaches below the knees and possibly a skirt or dress underneath. No jewelry is visible. The background includes a body of water to the right, birds in the sky, and clouds indicated by sketch lines.
