Henri Mauperché's etching, *Le Pan de Muraille*, depicts a landscape with a crumbling archway and figures in the foreground. The composition is reminiscent of classic Italian landscape paintings, a style prevalent in the 17th century. The etching's detailed rendering of the ruins and the figures, along with the surrounding natural elements, highlights Mauperché's skill in capturing the beauty and grandeur of the natural world. The work, a testament to Mauperché's artistic prowess, can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
