River House, Cuenca

The etching by J. Andre Smith captures a picturesque view of Cuenca, Spain, with a series of tall, multistoried buildings perched dramatically on a steep, rocky landscape, overlooking a tranquil river. In the foreground, a slender tree stands gracefully, while three figures—two seated by the riverbank and one standing—add life and scale to the scene. The intricate detailing of the architecture and natural surroundings is rendered in delicate lines.
