This poignant wood engraving, created by renowned artists James McNeill Whistler and Joseph Swain in the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this heartfelt moment. Clara Vinraces stands at the center of attention, her delicate figure draped in sorrow as she gazes longingly at her departing father. The intricate details and tonalism technique employed by Whistler and Swain bring forth an ethereal quality that adds depth to this historical scene.
