Alsace landscape, dusk

Alsace landscape, dusk is a painting created between 1879 and 1888 by Jean-Jacques Henner. It is housed in the Petit Palais. The painting measures 0.755 meters in width and 0.6 meters in height.

The artwork depicts a landscape at dusk. The sky is a pale, muted blue-green, with darker grey clouds dominating the upper portion. A dark, silhouetted hill or range of hills forms the middle ground, rendered in deep browns and dark greens. In the foreground, there is a dark, almost black mass suggesting trees or dense vegetation on the right, contrasting with a calmer, flatter area of darker greens and browns that appears to be a marshy area or the edge of a body of water. A small, still body of water, possibly a pond or small lake, is visible in the lower center, reflecting a pale light. The overall palette is subdued and dark, with a focus on muted greens, browns, and greys. The brushstrokes are visible, contributing to the painting's textural quality.
