Léon Germain Pelouse, Une Coupe de bois à Senlisse, exhibited Paris Salon of 1876 (where it received a medal of the 1st class), Pierrelaye Town Hall, France; oil on canvas,  240 x 160 cm. Exhibited: Paris Salon 1876. Eugène Montrosier, Les Artistes Modernes, vol 4, 1884, p. 103: "We are in the fall, in a part of the forest well thinned by the ax energetically wielded by the lumberjack who turns his back on us. In the background, large trees not yet reached receive the last rays of the sun passing through the branches as through a sieve. Rutted paths are lost in the woods. Vegetation scorched by the latter part of the season blossoms haphazardly, pushing thorugh branches and twigs under the great sky that protects them. A soothing calm spreads over nature." Montrosier also notes that the 1st class medal awarded by the Paris Salon in 1876 was "an award that for thirty years had not been given to a landscape painter.”
