Paysage is an ink by François Liénard, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet countryside scene. A lone tree stands tall near the center, while smaller trees dot the background. In the foreground, a group of people and a cow gather by a shallow, grassy water’s edge. The sky is lightly sketched with wispy clouds, and the whole scene feels still and peaceful. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in the water and grass. The word *Paysage* (French for "landscape") is printed at the bottom, confirming this is a scene of nature. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one carve images into metal plates.
French printmaker François Liénard carved everyday scenes into metal in the 19th century.
