A Rock in the Sea c. 1890

"A Rock in the Sea" is a print by American artist Elbridge Kingsley, created around 1890. The piece depicts a solitary rock rising from the churning sea, with a single bird in flight overhead, under a partly cloudy sky. The print's dramatic composition, with its rough textures and detailed depiction of water, captures the raw power of the sea. The print likely uses the traditional technique of etching, which involves using acid to create lines on a metal plate for printing.
