État Actuel de la Mare d’Auteuil is a 1871 ink by Maxime Lalanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a serene landscape, with a large tree trunk lying horizontally across the foreground. The tree's branches stretch out to the right, while its roots are visible on the left. In the background, a body of water reflects the sky above, with several trees standing along its edge. A few figures can be seen in the distance, adding a sense of scale to the scene. The artist's use of etching creates a sense of texture and depth, drawing the viewer's eye into the tranquil atmosphere of the landscape. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world depicted in the etching.
