Little Birds (Les Petits oiseaux)

Charles-François Daubigny

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a winding path through a wooded area with tall trees. The horizon is obscured by the trees, and the path curves gently into the distance. The landscape is depicted using fine lines and textures, with a color palette of sepia and brown. A small figure can be seen walking along the path in the distance. The sky is partly cloudy with a pattern of horizontal lines and shading.
