Trætop 1905 - 1910

"Trætop" (Treetop) is a watercolor painting by Danish artist Peter Hansen, created between 1905 and 1910. The artwork, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a close-up view of a tree's branches, rendered with delicate washes of watercolor. The branches, painted in shades of brown and gray, create a sense of depth and texture, suggesting a dense and intricate network of foliage. Hansen's "Trætop" exemplifies his talent for capturing the subtle beauty of nature through a minimalist approach, highlighting the organic forms and patterns found in the natural world.
