Meisje met mand in een bloemenweide 1856 - 1897

"Meisje met mand in een bloemenweide" is an etching and aquatint by Dutch artist Henri-Charles Guérard, created between 1856 and 1897. The artwork depicts a young girl seated in a field of flowers, holding a basket, with a gentle, almost melancholic expression. The delicate use of light and shadow in the soft blue tones adds a sense of tranquility and serenity to the scene. The small scale of the work (119mm x 158mm) emphasizes the intimacy and quiet solitude of the subject. It's a testament to Guérard's mastery of etching and aquatint, showcasing the depth and detail he was able to achieve through the use of these techniques.
