About this work

This lithograph shows a small stone house with a low roof and one crooked chimney. It sits in a flat field with a few trees and a wooden fence. Maurice Jacque made this in the 1800s. Back then, artists liked simple country scenes like this one. Lithography lets them copy drawings onto stone, then print many copies. See how the shadows fall just right? That’s the ink holding water in the tiny pits of the stone. Next, look for Jacque, Maurice.
