Meisje met mand in een bloemenweide 1856 - 1897

"Meisje met mand in een bloemenweide" (Girl with a basket in a flowery meadow) is an etching by Dutch artist Henri-Charles Guérard, completed between 1856 and 1897. The print shows a young girl sitting in a field, holding a basket. The subject is presented in a soft, muted palette, highlighting the artist's use of subtle tonal variations and delicate lines to capture the essence of a fleeting moment. This etching, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a quintessential example of Guérard's distinctive style, characterized by his ability to translate light and shadow with remarkable nuance.
