Interior of an Inn (Interieur d'une auberge)

Charles-François Daubigny

National Gallery of Art

Two donkeys are standing amidst scattered objects on the ground, illuminated by a beam of light streaming in through an open doorway. The color palette is monochromatic, consisting primarily of dark shades with lighter highlights to suggest light and shadow. The donkeys are positioned towards the left and center of the image, with the doorway shining light from the right side, creating a contrast in the lower left area of the space.
