"The Etcher" (1897) is a notable work by the Scottish artist William Strang, who was renowned for his contributions to the field of etching and printmaking during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Strang, born in Dumbarton in 1859, was a pivotal figure in the etching revival movement that swept through Europe during this period. His works are characterized by their meticulous detail, expressive line work, and often, a deep psychological insight into his subjects.

"The Etcher" is a self-portrait that exemplifies Strang's mastery of the etching medium. In this work, Strang presents himself in the act of etching, capturing the intensity and concentration required by the craft. The composition is intimate, drawing the viewer into the artist's personal space and offering a glimpse into the creative process. Strang's use of light and shadow in the etching highlights his technical skill and his ability to convey texture and depth.

This self-portrait is not merely a depiction of the artist at work but also serves as a commentary on the nature of the artistic endeavor. By choosing to portray himself as an etcher, Strang aligns himself with a tradition of artists who have explored the introspective and labor-intensive aspects of their practice. The work reflects Strang's dedication to his craft and his place within the broader context of art history.

"The Etcher" is housed in several prominent collections, including the British Museum and the National Galleries of Scotland, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Strang's influence extended beyond his own work, as he was also a teacher and mentor to other artists, further cementing his legacy within the art world.
