Artist, French, 1886 - 1970

The image depicts a tree-lined road leading into a distant town. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, showing the road, trees, and town in the distance. The brushstrokes are expressive, using cross-hatching to create depth. The color palette is primarily sepia tones. On the road, there are a couple strolling, a cyclist, and a horse rider. The road curves gently towards the town, framed by trees, with a cloudy sky in the background.
