The predominant colors in the painting are grey

but the modeling of facial expressions and the delightful complexity and subtlety of the whole speak to a creator with deep insight

Like many of Barrys etchings, this work was inspired by the New Forest in England, which was once a royal hunting ground for William the Conquerer. Her labor intensive etchings, which sometimes take up to six months to complete, often feature pastoral scenes of flowers and animals.
