Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

This image features a landscape viewed from a slight elevation, with emphasis on both near and distant parts of the scene. A figure is leaning against a tree on the right side. The horizon is high, highlighting the expansive sky filled with cross-hatched lines creating a cloudy effect. A body of water reflects these patterns, bordered by trees. The art uses fine, delicate brushstrokes or etching lines in a cross-hatching technique for a detailed texture. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black and white for depth and texture.
