Landscape 1740 - 1785

This etching, titled "Landscape," is a work by the French artist Louis Philippe Joseph, duc de Chartres. Created between 1740 and 1785, the drawing depicts a rural scene with a prominent tree, a cluster of brush, and a distant view of a mountain range. The use of shading and linework creates a sense of depth and perspective, typical of 18th-century landscape art. This print, held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the era and demonstrates the du de Chartres' talent as a landscape draftsman.
