Bare and leafy tree 

Victor Müller's "Bare and leafy tree" is a delicate pencil sketch, showcasing his adeptness at capturing the essence of nature. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, features a singular tree, its bare branches starkly contrasting with a few remaining leaves, hinting at the transition between seasons. Müller's use of subtle shading creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the tree's gnarled bark and the delicate veining of its leaves. This study of a single tree demonstrates Müller's keen observation and skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world.
