The print depicts a serene landscape featuring a simple house with a slanted roof in a field, surrounded by trees and a small body of water, with a pale blue sky and green and yellow grass.
Technique & Style
Vollard achieved a sense of depth by layering just six colors, using loose, sketchy brushstrokes to give the print a spontaneous, natural feel.
