Cesar De Cock (1823-1903) was a well-known landscape painter and engraver. His friends and colleagues included Henri Rousseau and Jean-Baptiste Corot, and he can be considered as a Belgian representative of the Barbizon School of landscape painters. As a draughtsman he applied nuanced touches of black ink in order to generate an atmospherical effect, such as in this fine drawing.
