Le Bruit de deux sabots trainant...

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image features a sketch in warm orange on a pale canvas. The scene shows architectural silhouettes on the horizon, including a tall spire and a cross. In the foreground, a figure leaps with an umbrella over their head, casting a reflection in water. The brushstrokes are soft and textural, suggesting movement and vibrancy, especially in the depiction of rain. The monochrome palette of orange adds warmth and drama to the depiction.
