About the piece

Painted in 1814 by Achille-Etna Michallon, this work is a quintessential example of the Romantic landscape tradition. A solitary figure navigates a winding path in the foreground, providing a human scale to the sweeping vista of Sceaux and the luminous, cloud-swept horizon that dominates the upper composition.
