Bosco vicino a un villaggio con cacciatori di conigli e i loro levrieri

Thomas Gainsborough, ultimi anni Cinquanta del Settecento

The image depicts a landscape sketch viewed from a slightly elevated perspective. Various elements are visible in the scene, such as a row of trees in the distance that hides the horizon. Two dogs are near a stream or puddle, with two figures standing nearby and holding long sticks. In the background, a herd of cows grazes. The sketch uses soft, flowing lines with graphite shading to capture the scene in a monochromatic color palette of shades of grey and black.
