A Wild Beech in Full Leaf

Paul Huet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large tree as the focal point, surrounded by mountains in the background. Intricate pencil strokes capture the tree's branches and leaves in detail on textured paper. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of gray and black. Rocks and a stream are depicted in the foreground.
