Etching of a domed classical building behind trees on a shore, with its reflection in calm water and sandy ground in the foreground.

A Fading Memory, etching by Bertha E. Jaques

A domed neoclassical building with colonnaded wings stands on a wooded shore, its reflection rippling across calm water in the foreground. Fine, sketchy hatching renders the trees, sand and water in a soft, pale-toned etching.
