"Twee bomen" is a small etching by French artist Alphonse Legros. Created between 1847 and 1911, the artwork depicts a pair of trees in a dense, woodland setting, a subject that Legros often returned to in his work. The use of delicate, finely etched lines adds to the sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the stillness of the forest. The etching is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This piece showcases Legros's mastery of etching, a technique favored by artists of the 19th century.
