Winter 1867

Charles Jacque, a prominent French artist, created this etching titled "Winter" in 1867. The artwork depicts a serene winter landscape with bare trees, a lone cow, and a shepherd tending to a flock of sheep. The delicate lines and subtle shading in this etching create a sense of tranquility and quietude, highlighting Jacque's mastery of the printmaking medium. His focus on rural landscapes and everyday scenes, particularly featuring animals, became a hallmark of his work.
