Eine Mutter II (A Mother II)

Max Klinger

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dock scene. The image shows a waterfront with figures on a staircase leading up to a building. In the lower portion are figures by a small boat and one figure lying flat on a platform over the water. The water reflects light and shadows. There is a labeled façade in the background. The drawing is done in an etching technique, with fine lines and hatching for texture and depth.
