River Scene with Boat (Large plate) 1879

Henri-Emile Lessore's "River Scene with Boat" (1879) is a delicate etching that depicts a tranquil river scene. The artist uses subtle lines to create a sense of depth and perspective, capturing the reflection of the trees and sky on the water's surface. The composition is balanced and serene, reflecting Lessore's interest in capturing the natural world with precision. This print, now at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Lessore's mastery of the etching technique and his skill in evoking a peaceful atmosphere.
