Rousseau, Route dans la Forêt

Route dans la Forêt (Road in the Forest)

Brown ink, 157 x 117 mm., Schulman 726 (illustrated). Provenance: artist's estate (Lugt 2436). A quick and fluent sketch of branching and foliage shapes along a road in the Forest of Fontainebleau, in fine pen and brown ink on a small sheet of wove paper, obviously from a sketchbook. The sheet is signed with the artist's estate stamp (Lugt 2436). Schulman dates the drawing to 1860-65.
