"Spring" (1906) is a delicate etching by Theodore Roussel, a prominent French artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes. The piece, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a single tree in full bloom, its branches reaching up towards the sky. The artist's use of subtle lines and shading evokes a sense of quiet tranquility, highlighting the beauty of nature's awakening. The artwork's muted tones and refined details contribute to its sense of peace and harmony.
