The Village Ford is a 1881 ink by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a cow standing in shallow water near a wooden bridge. The bridge is made of rough planks and poles, with a person walking on it in the distance. Trees and a stone wall line the background, while the water ripples around the cow’s legs. The artist used sharp lines to show texture—like the cow’s fur and the bridge’s wood. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
