Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image shows a rural scene with a house surrounded by trees. The perspective is slightly elevated, providing a view of the house amidst foliage. The horizon is obstructed by trees arching over the scene. The artwork uses cross-hatching brushstrokes to depict depth and texture. It is a monochrome etching using shades of black and gray. Large trees frame the sides of the image, with houses and vegetation in the background. The overall lighting suggests clearing skies above the trees.
