Landschap met twee figuren en een ezel c. 1825 - 1827

Théodore Fourmois's "Landschap met twee figuren en een ezel" (c. 1825-1827), now in the Rijksmuseum, is a picturesque depiction of a rural landscape. The etching, measuring 261 mm x 212 mm, features a small group of figures crossing a stream, accompanied by a donkey, in front of a dense forest. The idyllic scene evokes the tranquility of nature, a hallmark of Romantic landscape painting. The artist's meticulous detail and skillful rendering of light and shadow enhance the peaceful atmosphere. This work exemplifies Fourmois's talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world and his affinity for the Romanticism movement.
