Español: Noche lluviosa, aguafuerte de Otto Henry Bacher

Un oscuro aguafuerte de una orilla nocturna, con una góndola y un remero recortados en el agua reflectante, abajo a la derecha. Edificios tenues, campanarios y densas líneas rayadas sugieren lluvia y neblina en toda la escena, sobre papel crema con la firma del artista a lápiz.

Português: Noite chuvosa, água-forte de Otto Henry Bacher

Uma água-forte escura de uma orla noturna, com uma gôndola e um barqueiro recortados contra a água reflexiva, no canto inferior direito. Edifícios tênues, torres e linhas hachuradas densas sugerem chuva e névoa por toda a cena, em papel creme com a assinatura do artista a lápis.
