At the Dram Well

French 17th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a high horizon featuring a distant cityscape, a rocky hill with two small figures on top, two figures near a well or apparatus in the foreground, and various trees scattered across the undulating terrain. The painting displays loose and expressive brushstrokes with lines defining forms and volume. The monochromatic sepia palette creates a warm atmosphere, while the sky is filled with billowing clouds.
