Landscape 1850

"Landscape" is a charcoal drawing created in 1850 by Eugène Boudin. It depicts a rural scene with a distant view of a village nestled among trees. The work is notable for its delicate brushstrokes and subtle use of light and shadow. The composition emphasizes the lush greenery and the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside, typical of Boudin's plein air style. This drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Boudin's talent for capturing the essence of landscape, as he would later influence the Impressionist movement through his work.
