Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The etching depicts a scene with a slightly elevated point of view. In the foreground, a seated figure wearing a hat is partially obscured by a horse standing beside them. The horse's contours are delicately rendered, curving towards the right. A thatched-roof building fills the center and right of the image, with a window letting in light. The artwork features dense, cross-hatched lines for texture and shadow, creating a monochromatic palette of gray and black.
