Obstgarten (Orchard)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a tree-filled area, with a ground-level perspective within the trees. The horizon line is unclear and the focus is on the trees. The artwork is created in a sketch-like style with loose brushstrokes. The color palette is monochromatic, in shades of black and white. Post-like structures are visible throughout the composition, leading the eye into a cluster of trees in the background. Vegetation details are minimally suggested to keep the focus on the central group of trees.
