L'automne

About this work

This black-and-white scene shows a group of five people in a garden. Two men stand on the left, talking near a small dog. A woman in a fancy hat sits on a bench, holding a fan. Another woman stands beside her, holding a basket of flowers. A child looks up at a cherub perched on a tree branch above. The artist used fine lines to show details like the folds in clothing and the leaves. The garden looks busy but orderly, with flowers and trees filling the background. Check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made sharp prints.
