Women at a Well, Allinges

Eugène Boudin,

The sketch shows a scene with characters, a building, trees, and a distant landscape. The point of view is slightly elevated. The horizon is high in the composition, with hills or a distant landscape visible through trees. The sketch is detailed with varied pencil strokes for contrast and depth. The brushwork is loose and sketchy. The color palette is monochromatic. Two figures stand near a well-like structure, with a building partly visible on the right. Trees fill the background, with light lines indicating distant hills.
