By the Window 1922

"By the Window" is a 1922 etching by British artist Gerald Leslie Brockhurst. The work depicts a young woman's profile, partially obscured by a hat. The soft, detailed lines and the muted tones of the etching give the work a sense of intimacy and realism. The subject’s melancholic expression and the subtle rendering of her features contribute to the artwork's evocative quality. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching in the drawing emphasizes the textures of the clothing and hair, creating a sense of depth and volume. This etching showcases Brockhurst’s mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture nuanced emotions through subtle gestures and facial expressions.
