The Rider in the Reeds (Le Cavalier dans les roseaux)

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a house on the horizon, a person on horseback, and trees with twisted trunks. The sketch is done in graphite with expressive strokes creating texture. The color palette is charcoal and grey. There are undulations in the terrain and clouds in the sky.
