Cliffs Near Cremieu is a 1847 oil by Henri Harpignies, a Barbizon school work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a small house nestled at the base of a cliff. The house is white with a brown roof and is surrounded by trees and greenery. A dirt path leads to the house, and the cliff rises up behind it, with a few trees and bushes growing on its face. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes that give the scene a sense of texture and depth. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the palette.
