The Gallic Round

Jean Baptiste Camille Corot

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing of trees. The drawing is titled "The Gallic Round" and is by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot. The drawing has a white border around it that appears slightly textured. The drawing itself is set within a rectangular border that has a darker tone than the rest of the image. The border has several dark smudge marks on it and appears to be slightly uneven and frayed in areas. The drawing depicts a landscape scene with several trees and foliage, drawn in heavy dark scribbles. The trees appear to have sparse leaves. The sky in the background is lighter and there are some indistinct shapes in the distance. The overall effect is one of a simple, yet evocative, representation of a natural scene.
