Burnham Beeches

Thomas Charles Farrer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts several large tree trunks with thick brown bark, positioned on a slight incline. The trunks are close together and have several branches extending outwards. The trees are dark brown with green undertones. There are a few white mushrooms on the ground in the foreground. The background consists of more trees with thin brown trunks and yellowish-brown foliage. The overall color palette features shades of brown, green, and yellow. The style of the painting suggests an oil on canvas work by Thomas Charles Farrer, titled "Burnham Beeches".
