Evening in the Woods

Worthington Whittredge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Evening in the Woods by Worthington Whittredge: A forest scene with trees standing on a hill, with a small stream running through. The trees are tall and thin, with visible trunks and branches. The leaves are green and yellow, with sunlight filtering through them. The stream reflects the colors of the surrounding environment. The foreground features several large rocks and fallen tree branches. The sky is not visible, but the sunlight casts a warm glow on the scene. The painting's color palette includes shades of green, yellow, brown, and gray. The forest floor is covered with brown leaves and dirt. The overall atmosphere suggests a serene and peaceful setting.
