  • Rousseau's first known rock paintings come just before and during his visit to the Auvergne 1830 (reproduced in Michel Schulman, Théodore Rousseau 1812-1867, 1999, vol. 2, pp. 104-105, cat. nos. 64-69). Those works were more circumscribed than this drawing, which uses the rock to offset the landscape in the distance. Rousseau employed the medium of pen and ink less than that of black chalk, but with it, as here, he could express a more fleeting glimpse of nature and greater movement of form, giving the landscape a liveliness not achieved with chalk.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
