Corot was a pioneer of the cliché-verre technique and created numerous landscape works in this exact medium, often depicting trees and natural scenes with the same loose, naturalistic monochromatic quality seen in this Daubigny piece.

As a leading Barbizon School artist and close contemporary of Daubigny, Rousseau created deeply naturalistic forest and woodland scenes with a similar reverence for trees and organic landscapes rendered in intimate, contemplative tones.

Jacque also practiced the cliché-verre technique alongside his printmaking and created naturalistic French rural landscape scenes in monochrome that share the same mid-nineteenth century Barbizon sensibility and loose organic approach as this work.
