From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Marsh (Le Marais) is a 1851 ink by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet marsh scene with tall trees and shallow water. Flamingos stand in the water, their long necks bent. The sky is light, and the trees have thick branches. The ground is covered in reeds and patches of grass. The artist used lines to create texture, especially in the water and trees. This style was new for its time. Look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
