Farmyard, from Revue Fantaisiste 1861

"Farmyard" is an etching by Rodolphe Bresdin, from his "Revue Fantaisiste" series, created in 1861. This print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a rural scene of a thatched-roof farmhouse and surrounding landscape. Bresdin utilizes detailed lines to capture the texture of the thatched roof and the verdant foliage of the trees, while emphasizing the quiet, almost ethereal atmosphere of the farm. This print, part of the "Revue Fantaisiste" series, captures Bresdin's characteristically detailed and imaginative approach to landscape depictions.
