The Virgin Islands at Bezon (The Fish Pond) 1850

"The Virgin Islands at Bezon (The Fish Pond)" is a black and white etching by Charles François Daubigny, a prominent French artist known for his landscapes and his contributions to the Barbizon school. The print depicts a serene river scene with verdant foliage lining the banks. The subtle play of light and shadow on the water and trees adds depth and tranquility to the composition. The print is a fine example of Daubigny's artistic style, reflecting his fascination with the natural world and his ability to capture the essence of a fleeting moment. The print is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
