A Meadow at Sunset c. 1845

"A Meadow at Sunset" is a pastel drawing by French artist Paul Huet, dating back to around 1845. The artwork captures a serene landscape scene with a row of trees silhouetted against a vibrant sunset sky. Huet's use of pastel creates a soft, dreamy effect, emphasizing the gentle light of the setting sun. The meadow in the foreground is depicted in muted greens and yellows, contrasting with the warm colors of the sky. This work exemplifies Huet's skill in capturing the beauty of nature, a theme that would become central to his later landscapes.
