Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image shows a landscape that inclines upwards. The horizon is not visible, with fading outlines of structures and foliage in the distance. A castle-like structure is on a hill in the middle distance, surrounded by trees. The scene is rendered with crosshatching and stippling techniques for texture, especially in the vegetation and sky. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black and gray on a tan background. In the foreground, there is a wooden fence leading towards the woodland and distant architecture.
