A Farm (Une Ferme)
Charles Emile Jacque
Description
Jacque delighted in depicting the denizens of Barbizon on the edges of their villages on their way to or from work at sunrise or sunset. This etching shows a shepherd who is bringing back faggots gathered in the forest. Yet these creatures are only incidental to the artist's real interest: natural effects of atmosphere. In this proof he has added lines in the left and right areas to increase the impression of rain and shadow.
