About this work
Overview
Woman of the Gabbro is an etching on wove paper created by Giovanni Fattori in 1886.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts a woman outdoors, grasping a branch with one hand, set against a simple background of buildings and trees. Her dress is characterized by long, flowing lines.
Technique & Style
Fattori employed loose, sketchy lines to render the scene, eschewing smooth shading in favor of quick marks. The textured appearance of the paper suggests the use of a technique that produces this effect, typical of etching.
