From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Retour au Bercail is a 1851 ink by Karl Bodmer, a Romanticism work, depicting Deer, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man in a long coat walks a horse down a dirt path. The horse looks tired. Trees line the path in soft focus. This is an etching by Karl Bodmer. He made many trips along the Missouri River in the 1830s. This scene feels quiet and real, not dramatic. Check out another etching from his trip at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Johann Carl Bodmer (11 February 1809 – 30 October 1893) was a Swiss-French printmaker, etcher, lithographer, zinc engraver, draughtsman, painter, illustrator, and hunter.
