Les Ormeaux de Cénon is a 1871 ink by Maxime Lalanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet countryside scene with a large, leafy tree in the center. The ground is covered in grass and small plants, and the sky is light with soft lines. In the distance, you can see a fence and more trees fading into the horizon. The artist used fine, delicate lines to create depth and texture, especially in the tree’s branches. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
