Catalogue Note
Emile Bergerat, dans l'introduction au catalogue de la vente Sedelmeyer (p.12), rend "hommage au Ravin boisé, de Marilhat, étude d'une conscience infinie et d'une perfection suprême de dessin que Troyon a faite plus précieuse encore en y semant des figures d'animaux". Seule composition à quatre mains de Marilhat et Troyon connue, cette oeuvre a probablement été commandée par Mr Davin à Marilhat avant que Troyon n'y ajoute des moutons et des chèvres, à la demande de Mr Davin.
