Springtime 19th-20th century

"Springtime" is a black and white etching by American artist George Elbert Burr, created in the late 19th or early 20th century. The print depicts a desert scene with Joshua trees in the foreground, their blooming flowers reaching towards a cloudy sky. Burr was a prolific artist who specialized in landscape etchings, often capturing the beauty of the American West. "Springtime" is a fine example of his work, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing the delicate details of nature through the medium of etching. This piece, part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, is a testament to the enduring appeal of nature-themed art.
