In the Zoological Garden 1868 - 1878

"In the Zoological Garden" (1868-1878), a black and white etching by French artist Félix Bracquemond (1833-1914), depicts two women observing a group of pheasants inside a zoo enclosure. Bracquemond's meticulous attention to detail brings the scene to life, from the delicate textures of the women's clothing to the expressive postures of the birds. The print showcases Bracquemond's mastery of the etching technique, capturing light and shadow with precise lines. It is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City.
