Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image displays a scenic view with a low horizon line. A rustic thatched-roof house is nestled among trees. A river stretches across the bottom edge. The sky fills the upper half with soft, linear strokes indicating wispy clouds. The color palette is a simple monochrome with variations of gray. The outlines of the trees, house, and figures in the distance add to the detailed feel. Closest to us, lush vegetation bordering the water and a figure working the land are detailed with intricate lines.
