Coming from St. Ives Market 1878

"Coming from St. Ives Market" is an etching by Robert Walker Macbeth, a Scottish artist known for his depictions of rural life. The work, created in 1878, portrays a group of figures, including a man and woman, walking along a country road after leaving a market. The scene is characterized by a soft, hazy atmosphere, captured through Macbeth's skilled use of etching techniques. The composition, with its focus on figures and their movement, suggests the artist's interest in depicting the daily lives of ordinary people in a rural setting. This etching is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
