Forest Interior with a Waterfall, Papigno

Französische Malerei 1809–1830, 1825/1830

Slender tree trunks and branches reach across a waterfall framed by verdant green banks in this horizontal landscape painting. Boulders line most of the bottom edge of the composition except the lower left corner, which is taken over by plants. The arms of the tree or trees beyond this clump reach to the right in a loose web. Water crashes down a short waterfall also lined by boulders beyond, and the rest of the picture is filled with bright green foliage.
