About the piece

Painted around 1850 by Antoine Chintreuil, this oil on canvas depicts a serene 'sous-bois' or undergrowth scene. The composition is anchored by a dramatically leaning tree, with dappled light illuminating a forest path and figures resting in the shade, exemplifying the naturalistic style of the French school during this period.
