Petit Bosquet au Chasseur is a 1772 ink by Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a small wooded area with a hunter in the foreground. The hunter is dressed in traditional clothing and is holding a long gun. In the background, there are trees and bushes, and a small clearing can be seen. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the depiction of the hunter and the landscape. The use of etching and drypoint techniques gives the painting a sense of texture and depth. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this painting, which is a great example of Romanticism.
