Additional Notes:
Portuguese ..... Técnica de gravura em que a chapa é pintada diretamente com ácido, de modo que o artista desenha com ácido em vez de tinta; o ácido é lavado quando o efeito desejado foi alcançado. A técnica é normalmente usada com o ataque ácido, ao invés de como a única técnica.
