The Hamlet

Charles-Émile Jacque

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Hamlet by Charles-Émile Jacque: A black-and-white etching of a rural scene. A large house with a thatched roof and three chimneys is centered. A man herds a flock of sheep to the right, while a cow grazes on a hill to the left. Several chickens are scattered in the foreground. Trees and additional buildings are in the background under a cloudy sky. The image has a border with text at the bottom reading "LE HAMEAU".
