The Elm Tree

Eugène Bléry

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed tree on the right side of a landscape with a low horizon, gentle hills, and clusters of trees in the distance. The etching technique emphasizes texture and form with fine lines. The color palette is monochromatic in different shades of brown and sepia. Two small figures are near the base of the tree, with a road curving around them, leading into the scene.
