"Aux Environs de Menton" is an etching by French artist Adolphe Appian (1818-1898). The print depicts a landscape scene of the region around Menton, a town in the Alpes-Maritimes region of southeastern France, with a large tree obscuring a view of a distant village. The artist uses hatching lines to create the impression of foliage and a sense of depth in the scene. Appian's work is known for its detailed rendering of landscapes and its focus on the beauty of the natural world.
