Artist, French, 1615 - 1675

The image displays a landscape from a low vantage point. A group of people are near a calm body of water, engaged in activities such as fishing or resting. In the background are distant hills or low mountains. A stone bridge crosses over the water. The artwork features fine and detailed brushstrokes or etched lines in a monochrome etching technique with cross-hatching and line work. The color palette is mainly sepia and black. Tall, slender trees flank the scene, their foliage depicted with delicate lines. The sky above contains softly rendered clouds.
