Salisbury Plains 1929

"Salisbury Plains" is a 1929 etching by Kerr Eby, an American artist known for his landscapes. This work depicts a sweeping view of rolling hills and farmland under a vast, cloudy sky. Eby's meticulous technique captures the subtle nuances of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere in the scene. The use of delicate lines and hatching in the sky evokes a sense of movement and texture, while the foreground, rendered in more solid lines, grounds the composition and emphasizes the vastness of the landscape.
