Akron Art Museum issued the following announcement on Sept. 19.
In this print, Flint combined the strong contours of etching with aquatint. With this potent combination, Flint was able to render many specific details in his figures’ hands, faces, and clothing, while also adding richness to the scene with a variety of broad gray tones and an application of gritty atmosphere.
