This painting shows a small village in Normandy, France. It's a tiny artwork, measuring just 5.56 cm square. The artist likely used a lot of detail to fit the scene into such a small space. The village scene is interesting because it's a quiet moment in time. The artist tried to show what a normal village looked like. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of engraving.
