Essais de gravure à l'eau forte par Alexandre Calame, I, pl. 21

Alexandre Calame

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a group of goats on rocky ground in the foreground. Tall pine trees stand to the right, and a river flows through the terrain towards mountains in the distance. The mountains are covered in snow, under a textured sky. The scene is depicted using fine lines and cross-hatching, in a monochrome color scheme, resembling a classical etching.
