This painting shows tall trees, soft grass, and a pond glowing in late sun. The light dances on the water like scattered coins. Nanteuil loved nature so much he wrote about it. He noticed tiny details most people miss—like how leaves look like lace or how grass shimmers. Look for his careful brushwork next. See it at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
