Marly-le-Roi

Impressionist Landscapes, c. 1875

This painting depicts a street scene from a slightly elevated perspective. A tan dirt road stretches into the distance, lined with white houses on the left side. On the right side is a tall fence, and behind it the green tops of trees or bushes are visible. People in dark clothing walk along the street in the distance. Beyond them, taller trees are visible, with more buildings below them. The sky above is softly colored in hues of yellow, peach, and gray. The brushstrokes are loose and visible.
