Artist, French, 1621 - 1691

This is an etching of an estate, viewed from a garden. The horizon is not prominently marked, obscured by the house and trees. There are birds in the sky. The fine lines in the etching show detailed architecture, with high roofs and an ornate facade. The color palette is monochrome, using variations of brown ink. There is a pond reflecting the estate, with people walking, one sitting with a dog. In the distance, foliage and the estate blend in a garden landscape.
