An artist wiping an etching plate with red ink.

An artist wiping an etching plate that has been covered in red ink. In the etching process, the plate is covered in ink and then the ink is slowly lifted by wiping with a cloth, then a second wipe with paper, and then finally a finishing wipe with the artist's hand.
