Artist, French, 1813 - 1894

The image shows a rustic landscape with a stream, trees, cattle, birds, and a pond. The viewer looks across the stream towards the cattle. The horizon is high, and there are thin lines of foliage against the sky. The brushstrokes create detailed patterns in the trees and cattle. Birds can be seen flying in the upper left. The color palette consists of earthy browns and dark tones against a lighter sky. A pond reflects the silhouette of two birds. The rough ground leads the eye towards the trees and animals, providing depth to the composition.
