Grand Châtaignier au Bord d'un Chemin (Large Chestnut Tree on the Side of a Road)

Felix Thiollier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a large tree dominating the right side of the scene. The view is from ground level, with a dirt path winding to the left. The horizon is low, with an open field stretching into the distance. Smaller leafless trees are scattered in the background. The image is monochromatic with primarily sepia tones, highlighting the texture of the tree bark. Shadows from the branches create lines across the path.
