Chaumière de pêcheur (Fisherman's Cottage) is a 1892 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a small cottage on the left and a large body of water on the right. The cottage is made of stone and has a small window and door. The water is calm and reflects the sky above. In the foreground, there are some bushes and trees, and a small boat is visible on the water. The overall atmosphere of the painting is peaceful and serene. The painting is a lithograph, a technique that involves drawing on stone to create an image. You can explore more of this technique by looking up lithography.
Félix-Hilaire Buhot (1847–1898) was a French artist, born in Valognes.
