Boulder in the Woods

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The view is from a lower angle, focusing on a large tree canopy dominating the left side of the composition. The background shows a dense forest with tall trees reaching up to the sky. The image is created with detailed lines, hatching, and cross-hatching for texture and depth. It has a monochromatic color palette of black and white, accentuating the details of the foliage and terrain. The scene fades into the distance with the sky partly obscured by leafy branches overhead.
