Théodore Rousseau's contemporaries

The Forest in Winter at Sunset, by Théodore Rousseau, ca. 1846–67
A work made of conté crayon on gray-blue wove paper.
This image shows a rural landscape with a pond in the foreground where cattle are being herded by a person on horseback. There are low buildings with smoking chimneys in the middle ground. Trees on the horizon separate the land from the sky, which is filled with clouds. The painting is detailed with a consistent brushwork, capturing foliage and buildings. The color palette is primarily sepia, giving a vintage and serene feel to the scene.
The Kitchen of the Rôtisserie des Deux Paons, by Adolphe Monticelli, c. 1875–1881
A work made of transfer lithograph in black on gray china paper.
Landscape, by Edgar Degas, 1892

  2. This image shows an elevated view of a grassy landscape with sparse trees and vegetation at the horizon. The linear brushstrokes create texture and movement in the grass and sky. The color palette is monochromatic with sepia tones. In the foreground, a figure is on a horse amidst tall grasses, while in the distance, another figure stands on the left and a cluster of trees is on the right. The sky has wisps of clouds.
