Chemin Creux

Alexandre Calame

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a winding path through a forest viewed from above. The trees obscure much of the horizon. The artwork is a fine etching with detailed textures in the trees and ground. The color scheme is monochromatic with shades of black, gray, and white. There are figures on the trail and by the trees.
