Study of a tree 1887 - 1890

"Study of a Tree" is a watercolor by Paul Cézanne, created between 1887 and 1890. The piece exemplifies Cézanne's signature style of Post-Impressionism, characterized by simplified forms and a focus on the interplay of color and light. The study captures the essence of a single branch, its rough texture rendered with delicate lines and subtle washes of color, against a background that suggests the hazy atmosphere of nature. This artwork showcases Cézanne's keen observation of the natural world and his exploration of form through a simplified, yet expressive, approach.
