White Beeches in Fall

Christian Rohlfs

National Gallery of Art

The painting depicts birch trees and autumn foliage. The composition is filled with white-gray tree trunks and colorful leaves. The largest tree is to the right of center, beginning at the bottom of the painting and appearing to continue beyond the upper edge. The color palette includes deep oranges, reds, and yellows for the leaves, with some dark blues and greens suggesting shadows. The dark-blue sky is partially visible behind a tree on the left. The paint has been applied in thick, swirling strokes.
