Leafless tree 7 - 1846

"Leafless Tree" is a watercolor drawing by Stephan Rauh, dated 1846. The artwork, housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a solitary tree with bare branches against a light background. The detailed portrayal of the tree's bark and twisting branches creates a sense of naturalism. Rauh's masterful use of watercolor, particularly in the subtle shading of the tree and the background, further enhances the piece's realism, exemplifying his skill in capturing the essence of the natural world.
