About the piece

Painted in 1866 by French artist Antoine Chintreuil, this work is a superb example of the atmospheric landscapes associated with the Barbizon school. The composition centers on a radiant sun breaking through the dew-heavy air, casting a warm glow over a serene meadow where deer wander among slender, towering trees.
