Un Tir aux Bastions

Maxime Lalanne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The horizon is marked by hills with trees and structures suggesting a settlement in the distance. The scene is rendered with fine, delicate lines varying for texture. The monochromatic color palette is black ink on light beige paper. A road with figures and a horse-drawn cart is depicted, surrounded by trees and buildings.
