Artist, French, 1868 - 1916

The image features a fallen tree trunk extending horizontally across the scene. The horizon line is suggested by a cluster of trees in the distance. The style is characterized by precise pencil strokes outlining the trunk and branches with shading for depth. The color palette includes earth tones, with browns, grays, and hints of orange in the leaves. The ground has a pale yellow tint with grass strokes. In the background, there is a dense growth of trees forming a textured wall.
