L'eau (Water)

Jules-Ferdinand Jacquemart

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large pitcher and a bucket prominently in the foreground, along with a basin and a broom. The etching primarily consists of a monochromatic palette in shades of brown and black. The bucket is to the left, filled with water, and the pitcher is to its right, standing behind a basin which holds a small broom bristle. Draped over the edge of the basin to the right is a piece of cloth. A water tap can be seen in the background to the left above the bucket.
