Feuilles d'Anes du Midi (Sheet of Donkeys from the South)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of donkeys and a person surrounded by them in a mountainous terrain with a distant town in the background. The style used is classic etching, featuring meticulous line work for forms and shading. The color scheme is monochromatic with black lines on a cream background. The donkeys are loaded with goods in the forefront, while the mountains gently fade into the distance.
