Artist, French, 1847 - 1898

The image depicts a landscape filled with tall, slender trees. The horizon is placed just above the midpoint of the image, with distant trees extending towards it. The fine, linear brushstrokes suggest detailing of branches and foliage. Two small, indistinct figures walk on a path surrounded by trees. The color palette is primarily brown and black. The trees in the distance create a sense of depth in the scene.
