The pound is a 1867 oil by Théodore Fourmois, a Realism work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This landscape painting depicts a serene scene of a pond surrounded by trees and a small house. The pond is calm, reflecting the trees and sky above, while a few animals are visible near the water's edge. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the scene. A closer look reveals a small figure in red walking along the pond's edge, adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise subdued atmosphere. The brushstrokes are smooth, suggesting a sense of tranquility and peacefulness. The painting's attention to detail and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer into the serene world it depicts.
