Artist, French, 1907 - 1988

The image depicts a forest scene from eye-level view. The horizon is low and obscured by trees, with vertical tree trunks reaching into the canopy. The colors are natural, with deep greens and browns, and spots of lavender and white wildflowers. A sandy path runs diagonally across the foreground, surrounded by tall grass. Sunlight and shade create depth in the forest.
