Landscape with Hay Barn c. 19th century

"Landscape with Hay Barn," an etching by English artist Lucy Brightwell, captures a serene rural scene. The composition features a thatched barn nestled amongst dense foliage, its rustic charm accentuated by the open field and a distant village in the background. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, typical of 19th-century landscape art. The print, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to Brightwell's skill in depicting the tranquility of the English countryside.
