An Old Settler 1882

Charles Adams Platt's 1882 etching, "An Old Settler," depicts a solitary farmhouse nestled amongst trees. The subtle use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the artist's style, gives the scene a sense of quiet solitude. The print is a testament to Platt's ability to capture the essence of rural American life with delicate precision. This etching, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a fine example of the artist's work in the genre of landscape art.
