Landscape 1911

Henri-Joseph Harpignies' 1911 charcoal drawing "Landscape" depicts a serene woodland scene. The artist, known for his Barbizon School-inspired landscapes, captures the essence of nature through the delicate interplay of light and shadow on the trees, the suggestion of a river, and the distant hills. The drawing's intimate scale, measuring 22.7 x 29.4 cm, allows for a close-up view of the artist's meticulous detail. The piece embodies the Barbizon School's emphasis on capturing the natural world in a raw and honest manner, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
