Daubigny was born into a family of painters, including his father and uncle. He trained as an engraver before becoming a landscape specialist. A member of the Barbizon School, his paintings were first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1838 and continued to be shown there throughout his life. The artist was frequently criticized for his paintings’ lack of finish and sketchy execution. This small, loosely-brushed example shows a view of a country road, with a limestone bridge on the right, leading to a small hamlet on the distant horizon.
