Chaumières anglaises (English Cottages)

About this work

This print shows a village with small, dark houses packed closely together. Trees and bushes grow in the foreground, while a hill rises in the background. The sky is faint, almost erased, and the whole scene looks sketchy, like it was drawn quickly. The artist used a mix of lines and shading to create depth, focusing on textures like rough walls and tangled branches. The print feels rough to the touch, thanks to the techniques used.
