Artist, French, 1621 - 1691

The image shows a scene near a riverbank with a high horizon line. A large building complex and trees are visible on the horizon. The fine and precise brushstrokes give detail to the architectural elements and foliage. The color palette is monochromatic with black ink and cream paper. Figures walk along a path leading to a stone wall and a small building, while boats sail on the water in the distance. Additional buildings line the opposite shoreline, and there are expansive clouds in the sky.
