Les Anes de Saint-Medard is a 1874 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene with a few people and animals. On the left, a group sits on the bank, their clothes loose and simple. A woman in the center leads a donkey, while dogs wander near the water’s edge. Behind them, a cluster of small buildings and a tall church spire rise against a sky full of swirling clouds. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and light, especially in the water and clouds. The scene feels alive but not busy—just everyday life near a river. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this one create prints with acid and metal plates.
