This was part of a series by Gleeson from his international travels around 1910. It's a lovely scene of a rural Spanish village, with a large building in the center and a church on a hill to the left.

Gleeson (1878-1971) was an etcher and painter from Connecticut. He studied in New York City at the Art Students League, at the St. Louis School of Fine Art, and at the Academie Grande Chaumiere in Paris. Exhibition venues included the Art Institute of Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the World's Fair of 1939. His pieces are widely collected, including by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Carnegie Museum of Art, and St. Louis Art Museum.

The print is in very good condition, on lightly tanned paper. It comes in a matte but no frame (and the matte has some discoloration and a mark from a thumbtack on the top).
