Summer in Saint-Martin, the Past Nuptials (Ete de la Saint-Martin, la noce qui passe)

Auguste Lepère

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a woodland path curving through a forest, filled with trees. The branches are illustrated with thin lines, and leaves with delicate strokes, creating texture. A group of figures is gathered to the right, possibly participating in an event. The figures are detailed compared to the loosely sketched foliage. The color palette is monochromatic, using black and white shades in an etching style.
