Fontainebleau Forest: The Trembling Rock (La Forêt de Fontainebleau: La roche qui tremble)
The drawing depicts a woman pushing a large boulder on a cliffside. The woman wears a long dress and has her hair tied back. She stands on the left side of the boulder with her right hand on top of it and her left hand on its side. The boulder is massive, with visible lines and shading suggesting its texture and shape. The cliffside drops off sharply beneath the boulder, with some foliage visible around the base. In the background, there are some trees and foliage, but they are not the main focus of the drawing. The entire scene is rendered in shades of gray. A signature and some numbers are written at the bottom.
