Three Trees: Italy

Elihu Vedder

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape scene. Three tall trees are centered in the frame. The tree on the left is slender and has a smooth, dark green foliage. The central tree is thicker with lighter and darker shades of brown, suggesting its bark. Its foliage thins out towards the top. The tree on the right appears similar to the one on the left. In the background, there are more trees and mountains that appear dark and hazy. The sky above is blue with large white clouds. Darker clouds congregate on the top right. A dirt path cuts through the bottom foreground. The corners of the painting feature decorative black triangles with red writing. The top right triangle reads "Lead With Regards". The overall color palette consists of greens, browns, and blues. Elihu Vedder is the artist.
