"Entrance to the Village of Lentilly" is a 1804 etching by French artist Jean Jacques de Boissieu, known for his intricate landscapes. The print depicts a charming village scene, showcasing a rustic stone building with a tiled roof, workers on a scaffolding, and a crumbling wall with an arched gateway, framed by a large tree. The image’s realism and detailed textures capture the beauty of everyday life, highlighting Boissieu’s mastery of the etching medium. This work is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
