Outskirts of Villerville is a 1873 oil by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a few trees and a body of water in the distance. The sky is cloudy, and the overall atmosphere is calm. In the foreground, there are some green hills and a few trees, while the background features a large body of water, possibly a lake or a sea. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
