This print, "Marblehead," showcases the distinctive style of American artist Ella Fillmore Lillie (1887-1973). Created in a graphite and ink medium, the piece depicts an atmospheric nighttime scene of a quaint house, perhaps in the town of Marblehead, Massachusetts, as the snow falls. The composition is both elegant and engaging, emphasizing the quiet stillness of the winter night. The stark contrast between the dark shadows and the brightly lit window in the center of the house provides a focal point, attracting the viewer's eye to the scene's solitude. Lillie's work is known for its detailed realism, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
