Stephen Parrish’s “Woodboats-St. John’s River” (c. 19th century) is an etching and drypoint of a serene scene on the St. John's River. The artist captures the stillness of the water, reflecting the silhouettes of several woodboats and the distant shore. The print is a beautiful example of Parrish’s mastery of etching, with delicate lines creating a sense of depth and atmosphere, showcasing his talent for capturing the natural beauty of his surroundings.
