The Morning of Life

Samuel Palmer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Morning of Life by Samuel Palmer: A black and white etching depicting a serene forest scene. In the foreground, several people are gathered near a small stream or river, one bending down near a basket. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The forest is densely populated with trees and foliage that stretch back into the distance towards a light source. The trees are gnarled with thick trunk and branches. The overall mood of the image is peaceful and contemplative with the artist's signature in the bottom right corner and a note in the bottom left corner.
