Quai Vert et le Pont du Cheval by Caroline Armington is a 6.8 x 4.5 inch etching on paper that is signed in the bottom right corner. The piece is numbered 91 of 100 in the series and is protected under museum glass. The black and white etching depicts a stone bridge crossing over a canal in Bruges, Belgium. Trees and slender houses that line the canal are reflected in the water below. Dark silhouettes of figures can be seen walking the stone road that runs parallel to the channel, going about their daily tasks.
Armington uses vigorous cross hatching to create a strong contrast between light and dark in this piece. Her technical skill and mastery of her craft is evident in the level of detail she was able to achieve in her work.
