An etching by Charles-François Daubigny titled 'The (Four-Letter) Word of Cambronne' depicts a serene river scene with figures in a boat, rendered in fine lines and subtle detail.
This etching by Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878) depicts a tranquil river scene, animated by subtle humour. Two figures occupy a small boat; one rows while the other stands near a small cabin-like structure on the boat. In the background, a pastoral scene unfolds with grazing animals and figures tending to them. Above, birds fly across a sky filled with soft, billowing clouds. The composition is rendered with fine lines, characteristic of Daubigny's skill as a printmaker. The inscription below the image provides the title, referencing the defiant phrase attributed to General Cambronne during the Battle of Waterloo. Daubigny was a French painter and printmaker associated with the Barbizon School, a group of artists who advocated painting directly from nature. His work often focused on rural subjects, particularly river scenes, and he was a significant influence on the Impressionists. This etching demonstrates his ability to capture the atmosphere of the French countryside with economy and wit. The print's small scale and delicate lines invite close viewing, revealing the artist's careful attention to detail and his ability to evoke a sense of place.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
