Oaks in the Vaux de Cernay

Eugène Bléry

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a winding dirt path, large trees on the right, a slope with shrubs and an oxen-driven cart on the left. The sky is filled with light clouds, and in the distance, there are foliage and faint structures, possibly a church spire. The artwork is monochromatic, using shades of gray and detailed line work.
