The Meadow at Grave, near Villerville (Le Pre des Graves, a Villerville)

Charles-François Daubigny

National Gallery of Art

In this image, the point of view is from a slightly elevated position, showing a broad view of a pastoral landscape. The horizon is in the upper part of the image, revealing low hills or wooded areas, topped by a line of trees. The etching is detailed, with fine lines creating texture and depth through cross-hatching. The color palette is monochrome, using various shades of brown. In the foreground, there is undulating terrain with grazing animals, and in the distance, small ships can be seen on the horizon.
