Hiver (Le Loup dans la neige)

Félix Bracquemond

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wintry landscape with a lone wolf walking across a snow-covered expanse, leaving paw prints. There are bare trees and branches creating a dominant presence. The etching technique is evident in fine, cross-hatched brushstrokes. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray to depict a cold winter setting. The trees form dark silhouettes against a lighter background, with the sky adding depth to the scene.
