About this work

Overview

A Cusset (Allier) is an etching on laid paper created by French artist François Antoine Maxime Lalanne in 1869. It is part of the National Gallery of Art's collection in Washington.

Subject & Meaning

The etching depicts a serene village scene with a horse near a covered well, a leaning wooden cross against a crumbling wall, and a person on a distant ledge. The old buildings feature thatched roofs and rough textures, evoking a sense of age and tranquility.

Technique & Style

Lalanne employed sharp lines to convey texture, such as the horse's fur and the well's ropes, a characteristic technique in etching that achieves detailed renderings.
