Willows and White Poplars (Saules et peupliers blancs)

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, 1871

The image shows a pencil sketch of a landscape with trees dominating the scene. The viewpoint is from one side of a path or open area, with trees placed across the composition. Close to the viewer, tall trees with dense foliage are sketched using short, textured strokes. To the right, a few slender trees with bare branches stretch upward. The horizon is low with minimal detail suggesting distant land forms or rocks. The sketch is monochrome with various shades of gray, creating a calm atmosphere. The style is loose yet precise, capturing the natural essence of the landscape.
