EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite etching by Charles A. Platt, titled "Sketch of a Boat," dates back to 1881 and offers a captivating glimpse into the artistic and maritime heritage of America during the 19th century. Platt, an accomplished American artist, expertly captured the essence of a beached boat on the tan laid china paper using only the most intricate etching techniques in black. The image portrays a simple yet evocative scene of a boat resting on the sandy shore, surrounded by the vast expanse of the sea and the open sky. The boat, with its worn-out sails and weathered hull, bears the marks of countless journeys across the water. The etching's backlit quality adds depth and texture, making the boat appear as if it's coming to life before our very eyes. The serene landscape, with its subtle geographical features, invites us to contemplate the beauty of nature and the power of the sea. This masterpiece, a testament to Platt's artistic prowess, is a must-have for any art lover or collector with an appreciation for the history and culture of American art. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to preserve this national treasure for future generations to enjoy.
