Oriana 1888

"Oriana," an etching by American artist Julian Alden Weir, depicts a young woman with long, dark hair, gazing directly at the viewer. Created in 1888, the print showcases Weir's mastery of tonal variation, with the figure emerging from the dark background. The delicate etching technique and the subject's introspective expression contribute to the work's quiet yet powerful presence. The piece is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering viewers a glimpse into Weir's artistic vision and the beauty of printmaking.
