A Stand of Trees

Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woodland scene from a slightly elevated viewpoint. Two large trees with textured bark are in the foreground, with detailed leaves. A felled tree is to the right, and more trees are seen in the background with lighter strokes. The scene suggests a forest landscape in graphite gray tones.
