Calling to Shore 1861

"Calling to Shore" is an etching created by French artist Charles François Daubigny in 1861. The work depicts a small boat with two figures rowing across a river towards the shore. The scene is rendered in a loose and expressive style, characteristic of Daubigny's work, which often featured landscapes and river scenes. The artist's fascination with nature is evident in the detailed depiction of the boat, the water, and the surrounding landscape. The etching is a fine example of Daubigny's skill in capturing the beauty and serenity of the natural world, and is a notable work in the French Barbizon school movement.
