| Description | At first a figure-painter who indulged in strong colour, Díaz in his later works became a painter of the forest, of which this piece is an example, with its densely wooded forest and figures, although not as finished as many of his works. He spent much time at Barbizon and was heavily influenced by Rousseau, and his work at Fontainebleu. | |
