La Lisière de la forêt aux Monts-Girard, Fontainebleau

Paysages d’atmosphère, 1868

This painting shows a woodland scene with dense trees on the right side, their white and brown trunks twisting upwards and their leaves in shades of dark green, yellow ochre, and rusty orange. In the bottom left corner, a small reflective body of water is visible behind dark stones nearby. Behind the water is a low green meadow with tall grass, and in the distance there are more tall trees and some white buildings with red roofs. The horizon is visible on the left, separating the ground from the blue sky. There are bright white clouds near the horizon, but in the upper left corner are dark gray clouds.
