Content & Subject

Evening Ride Etching by P. Buckley Moss is a hand-signed and titled, numbered limited edition etching from the Moss Etching Collection and the Two Boys One Girl Collection. This charming and intimate piece captures an Amish family traveling home in a horse-drawn buggy through a snowy countryside.

The scene is viewed from behind, offering a glimpse of the parents and their three children—two boys and one girl—bundled inside the carriage. The horse’s head peeks over the driver’s shoulder, while a farmhouse in the distance anchors the composition in the quiet beauty of rural life. The warmth of the family contrasts beautifully with the cool tones of the winter landscape, making the moment feel both personal and universal.

Style & Technique

Moss’s etchings are treasured for their small editions and hand-pulled uniqueness. Each impression is individually inked, pressed, hand-signed, and titled by the artist, ensuring no two are identical.

In Evening Ride Etching, Moss combines her distinctive linear outlines with watercolor washes that bring life to the snowy road, frosty trees, and warm interiors of the buggy. The bold framing of the carriage window draws the viewer’s eye inward, emphasizing family closeness within the wider, cold winter landscape.
