IIe. Vue de Fronville (2nd View of Fronville) 1747 - 1783

"IIe. Vue de Fronville (2nd View of Fronville)" is a black and white etching by William Wynne Ryland, created between 1747 and 1783. The artwork depicts a rural landscape with a thatched roof structure, trees, and figures. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, characteristic of the pastoral genre popular in 18th-century art. Ryland’s delicate lines capture the textures of foliage, the rough-hewn timber, and the thatched roofing, creating a realistic representation of the humble scene. The etching is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
