Study of Trees

Lucas van Uden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of tall trees dominating the scene with their textured bark and detailed branches. The horizon is set low with a hint of pale yellow light in the distance, against a light sky. The brushstrokes vary in intensity, depicting leaves and bark with fine lines for branches and denser strokes for the trunk's texture. The color palette includes earthy tones like browns, grays, and muted green, with a warm yellow glow in the distance.
