About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet garden scene. Tall trees with thick branches and small leaves fill most of the image, their roots tangled in the soil. A narrow path winds through the greenery, leading toward a distant fence and a few faint buildings. The artist used lines to show texture—rough bark, delicate leaves, and the uneven ground. The title at the bottom, *Dans Mon Jardin à Bordeaux*, hints this is a personal garden in Bordeaux, France. The artist focused on everyday nature, not grand landscapes. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
