Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image shows a rural scene with a homestead nestled in nature. The horizon is obscured by cottage buildings and trees, showing a glimpse of sky in the upper part. The etching technique uses fine lines and crosshatching for texture. The color palette is monochromatic with black ink on pale paper. In the foreground, there is a wooden fence leading up a hill, while in the distance, trees and buildings are visible. There is a person and a horse near the trees on the left.
