Landscape with House is a 1795 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a landscape with a house in the distance, set against a backdrop of hills or mountains. The artist used a high viewpoint, which makes the horizon look low. This technique creates a sense of depth, and it's interesting because it was done using a method called etching, which involves scratching a design into a metal plate. The artwork is part of a collection at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and to learn more about this style, look up the technique: etching.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
