Les Ormeaux de Cénon 1871

"Les Ormeaux de Cénon" is an etching created in 1871 by Maxime Lalanne, a prominent French artist known for his landscape etchings. The artwork showcases a serene countryside scene with a group of elm trees (or ormeaux) dominating the center, while a distant village and cattle graze in the background. Lalanne's meticulous etching technique results in a detailed and atmospheric rendering of the landscape, capturing the subtle textures of the trees and the soft light of the sky.
