The Cottage

Charles-Émile Jacque

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of a landscape with a cottage, trees, and a cloudy sky. The cottage has a thatched roof and is situated among trees and bushes. A dirt path leads to the cottage. In the foreground, there are some rocks and twigs. The sky is cloudy, with a few birds flying in the distance. The image is signed "C. Jacque" and dated "1844" in the top-right corner. The overall style is detailed and realistic, with many lines and shading used to create depth and texture.
