1879
Johan Barthold Jongkind captured this breezy roadside scene in Ornacieux, France, on August 29, 1879. A massive, scribbly tree leans over a dirt path where a cart trundles away, while a solitary stone cross stands guard on the right. The sky is a delicate wash of pale yellows and blues, showcasing the loose, spontaneous style that earned him the title 'father of Impressionism.' He was a major mentor to Monet, teaching him to paint skies and light *en plein air*, and this sketch feels like a perfect example of that quick, observational magic.
