Sunset is a 1874 oil by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a landscape at sunset. The sky is a mix of orange and gray, with darker trees in the foreground. A man and a cow are in the right corner, near a body of water. The colors are mostly dark, with some brighter spots in the sky. The painting has a lot of texture, which makes it look rough. The brushstrokes are visible, especially in the sky and the trees. The overall mood is calm and peaceful. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of the artist Charles François Daubigny.
