Flooding in the Forest of the Ile Séguin c. 1833

Paul Huet's "Flooding in the Forest of the Ile Séguin" is a detailed ink drawing from c. 1833. The artwork depicts a flooded forest, the water level rising to the base of the trees. The artist captures the scene in a realistic manner, rendering the textures of the trees, the calm water, and the foliage. Huet's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the composition. His interest in depicting the natural world can be seen in this work, which is typical of his focus on landscape and nature.
