Geese 1887

"Geese," an etching created by Félix Hilaire Buhot in 1887, depicts a pastoral scene with a flock of geese in a field, framed by trees and a gate. The artist captures a serene and atmospheric moment, using detailed lines and subtle shading to create a sense of depth and texture. The print exemplifies Buhot’s mastery of the etching technique, showcasing his skill in representing light and shadow. The work, now located at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies a refined and sensitive approach to landscape depiction within the tradition of Impressionism.
