This unsigned proof is a fine example of Kirkpatrick's ability to capture nature from a more intimate perpective at a time before the use of up-close cameras, when the artist relied on prolonged and careful observation. Kirkpatrick was known for her use of subtle color, relaying moods with a deft hand.
