"Landscape with Man Carrying Staff" is an etching by French artist Antoine Pierre Mongin, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. The print depicts a solitary figure walking through a verdant landscape, likely in Italy. The figure, barely visible in the center of the composition, is dwarfed by the towering trees and the rocky landscape that surrounds them. The etching is a testament to Mongin's skill in capturing the beauty and drama of the natural world. The work is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
