Hiver (Le Loup dans la neige) is a 1864 ink by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet winter forest. Tall, bare trees stand in a line, their branches twisted against a pale sky. Snow covers the ground, and in the distance, a lone wolf walks along a path. The artist used fine lines to create deep shadows and texture, making the trees look almost three-dimensional. This is a great example of how artists can tell a story with just a few details. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this one carve images into metal plates.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
