In the Balcony 1906

"In the Balcony" is a 1906 engraving by American artist Timothy Cole, known for his detailed and meticulous engravings of famous paintings. The artwork depicts two women in elaborate dress, their silhouettes dramatically illuminated against a dark background, as they stand on a balcony, framed by an iron railing. Cole's meticulous skill is evident in the rendering of fine details in the clothing and the subtle shading of the women's faces. This engraving, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, demonstrates Cole's mastery of the technical aspects of engraving, which he utilized to create intricate and realistic representations of existing artworks.
