The Sawmill of Bas-Meudon

Félix Bracquemond

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a view from the water's edge near a cluster of small boats. Houses are seen on a gently sloping hillside in the distance, arranged linearly up the bank with foliage around them. The style is of an etching with fine, precise lines, conveying details and texture without color. The color palette is limited, using light and dark tones to capture the scene in a monochromatic manner.
