Interieur met lantaarn en bezem 1867

"Interieur met lantaarn en bezem" (Interior with a Lantern and a Broom) is an 1867 etching by the French artist Charles François Daubigny (1817-1878). The artwork, measuring a mere 118 mm x 149 mm, depicts a dark interior illuminated by a single light source casting shadows on the floor and walls. The subject matter is simple and mundane, reflecting Daubigny's interest in everyday scenes and the effects of light. This etching exemplifies the Barbizon School's focus on capturing the natural world in a realistic, yet poetic style.
