Boulder in the Woods

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image features a landscape view from within a forested area. A tree trunk curves upward to the left, with branches stretching across the top. The horizon is obscured by dense foliage and slender tree trunks leading into the distance. The artwork uses fine line work with cross-hatching for texture and depth. The color scheme is monochrome with shades of brown and sepia. A large rock formation is on the right, depicted with bold lines. Additional foliage adds depth to the scene.
