About This Scroll
Best known for his soft and lyrical paintings of animals, this painting of a rural landscape during a passing storm is an unusual subject for Goun, but not his only digression. Shown below are this collection's painting of a rural landscape and a recently exhibited* scroll picturing a more urban landscape.
