Marsh

Millet, Daubigny and Barbizon, probably 1851

This image shows a ground-level perspective of a marshland. The horizon is low, filled with tall grasses and dense clusters of trees. The engraving technique used is detailed with fine lines creating texture. The color palette is monochromatic, using black and beige tones. Large trees stand on the right, and birds wade in the water on the left. In the distance, more vegetation and grass can be seen, with birds flying across the sky.
