Against Green, aquatint and soft-ground etching by Arthur B. Davies

A group of three nude figures, one bent forward and two reclining, sits within a dense, mottled landscape of foliage. The etching uses soft tonal aquatint and loose contour lines, with the bodies rendered in pale highlights against darker textured greens and blacks.
