The Rocky Path in the Morvan (Chemin des roches dans le Morvan)

Painted in 1869 by French landscape artist Henri Harpignies (also cited as Henri-Joseph Harpignies), The Rocky Path in the Morvan is an oil on canvas measuring 95.6 × 160.7 cm. The painting entered the collection of American collector Robert Lehman, who bequeathed his holdings to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it remains on view. No record of a specific commission exists; the work was produced as an independent landscape during Harpignies's mature period, reflecting his interest in the forested terrain of the Morvan region.

Henri Harpignies's The Rocky Path in the Morvan, an oil painting from 1869, exemplifies the Barbizon school's dedication to depicting natural environments. This work captures a rugged forest scene, characteristic of the movement's focus on direct observation of landscapes rather than idealized compositions. It is currently part of the collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
