The Large Tree and the Cascade

Herman van Swanevelt

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Large Tree and the Cascade by Herman van Swanevelt: A black and white landscape drawing of a mountainous scene with trees and a body of water. A large tree with a thick trunk and full foliage stands on a mound on the right. In the background, there are more trees, mountains, and clouds. In the foreground, a group of people, including a man on a donkey and a woman with a child, are on a path that leads to the left. The scene includes a bridge and a small waterfall or cascade on the right side. The image is framed by a thin border, and text is written in cursive at the bottom. The overall scene depicts a serene and natural environment.
