Other painters associated with the Barbizon School, including Narcisse Diaz, also painted in the area, but none of his views quite match this composition for its audacity. Rousseau’s paint handling is also bold. The central path and rocks to either side are finished in heavy grey and cream paint, thickly applied with a dry brush and possibly a palette knife, resulting in a highly textured and fragmented surface.
