A Group of Willows

Eleazer Hutchinson Miller

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a view from under a dense canopy of trees. Large, gnarled trunks dominate the foreground, with two deer grazing on grass in the distance. The horizon is where the grassy field meets a smaller wooded area. The etching technique features fine lines for texture and depth, particularly in the tree bark and leaves. The color palette is monochromatic, with dark lines contrasting against light beige paper to enhance texture and shadows.
