Forest of Pierrefonds

Adolphe Théodore Jules Martial Potémont

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white forest scene with trees and a stream. The image is drawn in a highly detailed, realistic style. A large tree with a thick trunk and multiple branches is in the foreground on the left. The tree's trunk splits into two main branches that curve upwards and outwards. The tree's bark appears rough and textured. The stream runs from the bottom-right corner, curving towards the center. The stream has visible ripples and appears to have a small waterfall or shallow drop. Rocks and grass line the stream. The background has more trees and foliage, with sunlight filtering through. The artist's signature is at the bottom center of the image. The image has a beige border around it.
