Mission San Diego 1892

Ellen Day Hale's 1892 etching, "Mission San Diego", depicts the historic mission in a landscape setting. The artist, known for her evocative depictions of California landscapes, captures the mission's architectural details, including the crumbling walls and arched doorways, against a backdrop of palm trees and a fence. The use of delicate lines and shading in the etching gives the scene a sense of quiet and history, making it a compelling example of the artist's signature style.
