Les Voisins de Campagne (Country Neighbors) is a 1880 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a rainy street scene where two people walk under an umbrella, their clothes dark and heavy. A small dog trots beside them, its fur blending into the wet pavement. In the background, a tall building with a chimney looms over a fence, its windows glowing faintly. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the mood of a damp, busy moment. The texture of the paper and the way shadows blend into the rain make it feel almost like touching the scene. Try looking up etching to see how artists like this one carve images into metal plates.
Félix-Hilaire Buhot (1847–1898) was a French artist, born in Valognes.
