The Little Ford 1803

"The Little Ford" (1803) is a delicate etching by French artist Jean Jacques de Boissieu. The print depicts a serene landscape scene with a meandering river winding through a verdant valley. The composition highlights a group of figures crossing the ford, their small figures adding a sense of scale and human presence to the otherwise tranquil setting. The light is soft, creating a sense of peace and harmony, typical of Boissieu's idyllic landscapes. This charming work showcases the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of natural beauty through the medium of etching.
