Marsh Landscape at Twilight

Französische Grafik 1879–1887, c. 1880

The image shows a landscape view from a low eye level of an expansive field. The horizon is located in the lower third, separating hills and trees from the sky. Several tall, slender trees are to the left with bare branches reaching upwards. The sky has soft brushstrokes blending shades of blue, pink, and orange. The ground has earthy tones with light reflecting off small puddles. The color palette consists of muted earth tones contrasting with warmer sky hues.
