Le Gue (The Ford) is a 1865 ink by Odilon Redon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a landscape with a group of people on horseback crossing a shallow body of water, likely a river or stream. The scene is set against a backdrop of rocky cliffs and a cloudy sky. In the foreground, the figures on horseback are the main focus, with the water and surrounding landscape providing a sense of depth and context. The artist's use of etching creates a sense of texture and detail in the image. For more information on the artist's use of etching, look up the technique of drypoint.
Born Bertrand-Jean Redon on 20 April 1840 in Bordeaux, the artist adopted the name Odilon from his mother, Marie-Odile.
