The Ford (Le passage du gué)

Claude Lorrain, 1634

The image is an etching showing a pastoral scene from an elevated vantage point. The horizon is high, with trees dominating the landscape. The artwork features intricate brushstrokes typical of etching, giving texture to the trees and figures. The black and white color palette highlights light and shadow. Closest to us, goats are seen with a man and woman nearby. In the background, more figures are engaged in activities. The scene is completed by a dense forest in the background.
