Forêt

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooded area with dense foliage, tree trunks, and a hidden horizon line. The style appears to be a fine engraving or etching with intricate patterns depicting the texture of the foliage. The monochromatic palette uses dark and light contrasts to define the trees and ground. The ground has patterns leading into the forest, while lighter spaces in the distance suggest openings among the trees, creating a play of light and darkness.
