"Træer på en bjergskråning" (Trees on a Mountain Slope) is a watercolor painting by Danish artist Carl Bloch, completed in 1866. It showcases Bloch's talent for capturing the beauty of nature. The artwork depicts a single tree standing tall on a hillside, with a gentle slope and distant mountains suggesting a serene and peaceful landscape. The use of soft, muted tones creates a tranquil atmosphere, reminiscent of the romanticism movement. The painting is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
