Houses on an Inlet 

Franz Edmund Weirotter's "Houses on an Inlet" is a fine example of 18th-century etching. The detailed lines capture the architecture of the houses and the boats in the inlet, while the delicate strokes in the clouds above add a sense of atmospheric depth. The composition is typical of the period, with a focus on the depiction of everyday life. The scene depicts the inlet and boats, offering a glimpse into the daily activities of people living by the water. Weirotter was known for his mastery of this technique, which was widely popular during the Enlightenment.
