In style, Whistler seems to be moving away from precise attention to detail, and instead employing a looser approach. The influence of the artist Corot, a member of the Barbizon School, seems to be apparent in the broader handling of form adopted by Whistler in his treatment of the trees, foliage and the grass in the foreground of the image.
