Veue de la cour des Fontaines de Fontaine Beleau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed architectural scene with a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon features trees and ornate buildings including a palace or chateau with multiple steep roofs and chimneys. Fluffy clouds fill the sky. Tall trees frame the composition. The style includes precise lines and cross-hatching. The color palette is monochromatic with various shades of brown. Figures in period clothing are seen near us, along with horses and dogs. In the middle, there is a barge on a body of water. A tree-lined path extends into the distance.
