A Bit of Gossip 19th-20th century

"A Bit of Gossip" is an etching by American artist Dwight Case Sturges, created sometime between the 19th and 20th centuries. The image depicts two women in conversation, one with a hat and the other with spectacles, seemingly sharing a secret. Sturges's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of intimacy and invites viewers to imagine the whispered words passing between the figures. The etching captures the nuances of everyday life, and exemplifies Sturges's artistic style.
