About the work
Towering over a flat meadow and sheltering a herd of deer, these horse chestnuts were surely sketched at an English country estate. An interesting aspect is the way Cozens preferred to render shaded areas with the coarse, chalk-like lines produced by soft-ground etching (vernis mou) rather than the even aquatint tones.
