About the piece

Painted in 1885 by Léon Germain Pelouse, this atmospheric work depicts the rugged beauty of the Normandy coast near Saint-Jean-le-Thomas. The composition is dominated by a sweeping, silver-gray sky that casts a soft, diffused light over the rolling hills, where a small flock of sheep grazes peacefully. Pelouse's skilled brushwork captures the tactile quality of the damp grass and the heavy, moisture-laden air, creating a sense of profound stillness.
