Meisje met mand in een bloemenweide 1856 - 1897

"Meisje met mand in een bloemenweide" (Girl with a basket in a meadow of flowers) is a delicate and charming etching by Henri-Charles Guérard, a French-born artist active in the Netherlands. Created between 1856 and 1897, the artwork depicts a young girl with reddish hair, seated in a field of blossoming flowers. Her gaze is directed toward the viewer, holding a basket in her lap. Guérard captures a moment of tranquility and innocence with his use of soft, muted tones and delicate lines. The etching is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
