Chemin dans la campagne, Vichy

Millet, Daubigny et Barbizon, 1866/1868

The artwork shows a countryside path from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is not visible, with the scene focusing on the path through a natural landscape. Tall, leafy trees line the path on both sides, rendered in a sketchy style with loose brushstrokes. The color palette is monochromatic, using varying shades of brown ink on a beige background. The path leads into a dense area of foliage.
