La Bretonnerie in the Department of Indre

Gustave Courbet, 1856

This painting depicts a green landscape under a blue sky. Trees fill the grassy landscape, and a small blue stream winds across the grass on the left side, reflecting light. A hill with small rocks and light green trees rises up on the right. The sky is a bright blue color, with a few wispy white clouds.
