The Landscape Artist (Le paysagiste)

About this work

This print shows a man sitting outdoors, sketching a landscape with a pencil and paper. Behind him, trees and rolling hills stretch into the distance, while another person stands farther back, also drawing. The lines are bold and simple, with flat areas of dark ink against a light background. The artist signed it in the corner, and the title hints at the man’s focus on nature. The way the scene is carved into wood gives it a rough, textured look. Next, check out woodcut to see how this print was made.
