Lombard Farmhouse (above); Saddled Donkey Standing in Front of a Shop (below)

Luca Beltrami

National Gallery of Art

The image features two small etchings placed one above the other on a larger sheet of paper. The top etching shows an arched passageway leading into a narrow cobblestone alley with a distant building. Surrounding architectural structures obscure the horizon. The intricate etched lines create texture, depth, and shadow. The lower etching shows a donkey tethered near a wooden structure with a "Cabinets" sign. Etched lines capture the donkey's fur, shadows, and cobbled ground. The color palette is predominantly gray, accentuating the technical detail and contrast of the etchings.
