Old Museum, Beauvais 1917

"Old Museum, Beauvais" is an etching by Scottish artist David Young Cameron, created in 1917. The print, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Cameron's mastery of the medium, capturing the architectural details of an old building in Beauvais, France. The composition emphasizes the building's facade, with its imposing arched entrance and intricate roofline, while a cobblestone street leads the viewer's eye into the depths of the scene. This etching is a testament to Cameron's ability to render both the beauty and the history of architectural structures, making it a compelling example of his significant contribution to the world of printmaking.
