About the Work

In the foreground of his drawing, Boissieu depicted two artists pursuing the study of nature, a school he himself advocated from youth. His own landscape, drawn with a fine brush, also conveys a natural impression. For the sake of diversity, however, it was quite obviously composed from set-pieces.
