Landscape with Cave Opening

Antoine de Marcenay de Ghuy

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sheet with four black and white etchings of landscape scenes. The top etching labeled "No. 49" includes trees framing a path leading into the distance. The second etching, "No. 50," depicts figures under a canopy of trees in a wooded area. The third etching, "No. 51," features a building on a rocky outcrop by calm water. The fourth etching, "No. 52," displays trees on the left and water on the right. The style uses fine lines to create textures and contrast, and the tonal palette is monochrome.
