Under Eketreet 1858

"Under Eketreet" is an 1858 oil painting by Norwegian landscape artist Hans Gude. The painting captures the idyllic beauty of a rural Norwegian scene, with a focus on a group of figures gathered beneath a large, majestic tree. Gude, known for his meticulous depictions of nature, skillfully renders the textures of the bark, the leaves, and the surrounding landscape. The figures, dressed in traditional garb, add a touch of human presence to the otherwise serene scene.
