Swamp with four willows, print, annotation: '2nd State', printmaker: Jules Guiette, 1862 - 1901, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, print in brown, etching printed in light brown, with plate tone, height 170 mm x width 261 mm, swamp, inland marsh, fens, trees: willow, A horizontal scene rendered in warm sepia tones shows a flat landscape with bare, knotted trees along a watery channel; foreground grasses and low marsh vegetation frame the water that reflects faint vertical sticks, and the central tree has a thick gnarled trunk with thin branching twigs reaching upward. The sky above is textured with fine horizontal strokes and features a pale circular glow near the middle, while a scattered flock of small silhouetted birds arcs across the right side of the sky. The distant horizon is low and subtle, and the overall image has a sketched, etched appearance with delicate line work throughout.
