L'Angélus is a 1876 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two people standing under a blooming tree. One is bent forward, holding a shawl over their head, while the other stands straight, facing away. The ground is wet, with puddles reflecting light. A fence and a building with a balcony are in the background, and the sky is dark with rain. The artist used a scratchy, textured style to show light and movement. The scene looks quiet but busy at the same time, like a moment frozen in time. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists create these kinds of prints.
