Introduction
This is a delicate etching by C H Baskett, depicting a poignant scene of a derelict mill set within a rural landscape. Created in the early 20th century, the work showcases Baskett’s skill in capturing atmospheric detail and the melancholic beauty of decaying structures. The etching features fine lines and subtle shading, creating a sense of depth and texture that brings the scene to life.
Condition
The etching appears to be in good condition for its age, with some expected minor wear commensurate with age and handling. The paper shows some slight foxing, but this does not detract significantly from the overall aesthetic appeal. This vintage print would be a desirable addition to a collection of early 20th-century art, particularly for those interested in landscape etchings or depictions of rural life.
