The etchings Morgon and Bakgård convey idyllic scenes of a meandering river and a sheer cliff face in the landscape. Butterflies light up at dawn in Morgon, while a river winding its way through the landscape makes up the main motif. The image is an open invitation to become immersed in nature as the scenery dissolves into the horizon. In contrast, a view of the landscape is abruptly blocked by a looming mountainside that dominates Bakgård, while a delicately glowing sky appears in the background through the trees.
Tactile qualities of nature are evoked with the combined use of finely etched lines, the blurs of the drypoint technique, together with the painterly brushstroke effects of spit bite and sugar lift aquatints.
