The Day in the Country 1865

"The Day in the Country" is a black and white etching created in 1865 by the Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt. The etching depicts a scene of a man in a top hat departing from two women at a gate, while a horse-drawn carriage waits in the distance. This work is a fine example of the Pre-Raphaelite style, which emphasized realism and detail. It is currently in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
