The 19th century

A work made of black and white chalk on blue wove paper.
The Cliff at Étretat, by Gustave Courbet, after 1872
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 painting shows an elevated perspective overlooking a landscape with green hills and leafy trees. Closest to us, there are cream-colored buildings among dense foliage. These buildings have roofs in shades of pale blue-gray and reddish-brown, and the one in the center has wispy white smoke coming out of a chimney. In the distance on the left, a large, low structure sits atop a hill, with faint paths winding towards it through the green landscape. Beyond the trees, the distant landscape on the right is painted in shades of pale blue and green. The sky above is filled with puffy clouds in shades of gray.
