An influential printmaker as well as a brilliant draftsman, Daubigny created etchings that reveal his admiration for seventeenth-century Dutch painter-printmakers, dealizing the bucolic countryside. In 1860, Daubigny had moved to Auverssur-
Oise, a Parisian suburb on the banks of the river Oise that was also favored by other painters of his generation, including Corot, Pissarro, Cézanne, and Van Gogh.
