Under the Pines c. 20th century

"Under the Pines," a photogravure by American photographer Will A. Cadby (1866-1937), showcases the artist's mastery of the medium. Cadby, known for his nature photography, captures a serene scene of two towering pine trees, their trunks starkly outlined against a hazy background. The photograph, executed in a soft, muted palette, evokes a sense of tranquility and the hushed atmosphere of a sun-dappled forest. This intimate view, likely taken in the early 20th century, exemplifies Cadby's talent for finding beauty in the natural world.
