The Bellringer's Wife 1934

The print, which measures 15.24 × 10.64 cm, depicts a woman ascending a set of wooden stairs, her figure partially obscured by the intricate framework. Austin, known for his expressive use of line, captures the essence of the woman's solitary journey, emphasizing the weight of her steps with a sense of both melancholy and determination.
