Original etching titled Fourscore Years: an old woman in a cap and spectacles, seated in profile in the interior of a modest house, rests her head on her hand beside the table where the open Bible and the oil lamp lie, with the wall clock beyond. A biting of great richness in the blacks, printed on paper with wide margins.
