About this work

This image presents a red etching on thin japan paper, titled "Le Bruit de deux sabots trainant..." by Félix-Hilaire Buhot. The artwork features a scene with a prominent cross on the left and a church in the background, while a figure in the foreground appears to be walking through water, holding an umbrella. The etching showcases a range of textures, from the smoothness of the water to the roughness of the cross and the church's architecture. The use of red ink adds a sense of warmth and depth to the scene. The Romanticism movement is evident in the dreamy, atmospheric quality of the etching.
