This is a synopsis of the text that accompanies the print in the book (authored by Hitchcock): Hitchcock describes Parrish as a "true painter-etcher" whose understanding and execution of the medium has become increasingly more sophisticated over time. He writes of this plate that although the subject is simple, "the use of the paper, the contrasts, and the sturdy rendering of form are all significant" (page 30).
