Landscape, from a series of six landscapes titled "Observationib.Astronom.Regiae.Paris.Scient. Acad...1736" 1736

This etching, "Landscape," was created in 1736 by French artist Quentin Pierre Chedel and is one of six landscapes created for the scientific journal "Observationib. Astronom. Regiae. Paris. Scient. Acad...1736." The print depicts a pastoral scene with a distant village and figures tending sheep, a typical subject matter for 18th-century landscape art. The detailed rendering of trees and foliage, as well as the use of light and shadow, showcase Chedel's mastery of the etching technique.
