The Big Trees

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a dense, wooded area with two large trees framing the scene. The textured bark and abundant foliage are depicted with intricate brushstrokes. More trees in the distance suggest a horizon line. The brush technique conveys movement and growth. The color palette is sepia with shades of brown and beige. A horizontal log is visible beneath the trees.
