This evocative antique postcard features a wooded scene within the Forest of Fontainebleau, highlighting the Rock of Millet and Rousseau (Le Rocher de Millet et de Rousseau). The photograph captures a monumental bronze bas-relief medallion embedded into a massive sandstone boulder, depicting the profiles of Barbizon school painters Jean-Francois Millet and Theodore Rousseau. A gentleman in period attire stands beside the rock, immortalizing the late 19th-century reverence for these masters of landscape art in their natural element.
