Billy Goat 14/100

A figure on a bicycle traverses a rural landscape, rendered in soft watercolour washes of blue and grey. The composition balances delicate line work with broad areas of tone, depicting rolling terrain and distant hills. A kite drifts in the upper left whilst the cyclist, dressed in red and white, occupies the middle ground with purposeful gesture. The work demonstrates the artist’s command of aquatint layering, building atmospheric depth through successive acid baths on the copper plate.
