Cows in the Woods
1862
"Cows in the Woods" by Charles François Daubigny is a cliché-verre work that exemplifies the artist's mastery of this hybrid printmaking technique, which combines photography and hand-drawn elements on a glass plate. The composition captures a pastoral scene of cattle resting among trees, demonstrating Daubigny's characteristic attention to light effects and naturalistic detail. As a pioneer of the cliché-verre medium in the 19th century, Daubigny used this process to create luminous, atmospheric landscapes that bridged the gap between drawing and photography.
