Chene (Oak Tree)

Antoine-Pierre Mongin

National Gallery of Art

The image features an illustration showing a grand oak tree from a low-angled perspective. The horizon line is low, with rocks and shrubs at the base of the tree. The illustration uses a stippling technique for textures on the tree and foliage. The color palette is sepia and brown. In the distance are outlines of hills. The tree rises from rocky terrain, with a small stream or pond reflecting it.
