Winter 1864

"Winter" (1864) by Charles Jacque is a delicate etching that depicts a winter scene in the French countryside. The composition features a group of sheep huddled together in a clearing, while a shepherdess leads two cows through a small stream. Jacque's meticulous detail is evident in the textured trees and the flowing water, creating a sense of peace and tranquility. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner, adding authenticity to the piece.
