Bois de Boulogne

Charles Marville

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a body of water reflecting trees along its banks. Two trees stand near the water's edge, with sparse branches. The horizon sits low, with an expansive sky blending into distant foliage. A small bridge crosses the water. The image has a sepia tone with a color palette of browns and grays. The sky has a gentle gradient, contrasting with the defined silhouettes of trees and landscape.
