This expressive etching, "And grant, oh Lord, a little temptation be yet it is too late-", by British artist Will Dyson (1880-1938) depicts a solitary figure kneeling in a darkened room. The stark contrast of light and shadow, characteristic of Dyson's style, enhances the dramatic impact of the scene. The woman's bowed head and outstretched hands convey a sense of deep sorrow and desperation, leaving the viewer to contemplate her inner struggle. The inscription, a poignant verse, suggests a theme of lost opportunity and regret. Dyson's art often addressed social issues and this etching, though its subject matter is unclear, likely reflects the artist's concern for the human condition.
