Landweg in de omgeving van de stad met wandelaar van achteren gezien; links de koepel van de Invalides 1773 - 1843

This pencil sketch by Georges Michel, titled "Landweg in de omgeving van de stad met wandelaar van achteren gezien; links de koepel van de Invalides" depicts a rural landscape with a lone figure in the foreground. The composition emphasizes the vastness of the landscape, while the figure appears small in comparison. The inclusion of the dome of the Invalides in the distance suggests a connection between the rural and urban spheres. Michel's drawings are known for their atmospheric qualities and detailed observation of nature, capturing the fleeting beauty of everyday life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
