The Lighthouse (Maine Coast)
1923

A black and white etching depicting a coastal scene with a lighthouse and an adjacent house perched atop rugged cliffs. The ocean waves are suggested by expressive, curving lines, and the composition conveys a sense of isolation and the stark beauty of the seaside landscape. The image has a border indicating it may be a print, and there are signatures or inscriptions at the bottom right corner.
