This page shows four small black-and-white landscape sketches. Trees line a riverbank in the top picture, with a few tiny figures walking. The other three images are simpler: one shows a rocky shore, another a lone tree by water, and the last a hillside with a house. The lines are delicate, and the scenes look quiet. These sketches were made by hand, likely using an etching tool. The artist focused on nature’s details, like how light hits water or how trees grow along a river. Look up Antoine de Marcenay de Ghuy to see more of his tiny, precise landscapes.
