Sketchbook, page 74: Landscape Study

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on aged paper depicts a landscape scene. A winding path runs through center. Trees with bare and leafy branches are on either side. A fence and building structures are faintly visible in background. The sketch is rendered in varying shades of gray pencil, with some areas more heavily shaded than others. The paper has a rough texture and visible signs of wear around the edges. The overall effect is one of a quick, impressionistic study of a natural setting.
