William E. C. Morgan

This print depicts a mysterious nude woman standing at the mouth of a stream. Her pose and modeling suggest figures in early Italian engravings, while the detailed landscape around her alludes to the work of Albrecht Dürer, synthesizing two different European traditions of engraving on copper.

While Morgan achieved early success, his career as an engraver did not last long. Failing eyesight forced him to abandon printmaking in 1938.
