Vaste Fôret

19th-century Belgian school oil painting on a wooden panel signed (illegible) on the lower left. The work has a little texture to the touch.

The painting depicts a forest scene inspired by the Barbizon school, featuring a central character. The brushstrokes are both compact and exhibit various textures. The foreground consists of dense, comma-shaped brushstrokes, gradually transitioning into a more detailed technique. The overall color palette is dark, with the light appearing to emanate from the patch of sky in front of the character.
