Study of the shrub 1900

Karel Vitezslav Masek's "Study of the shrub" is a watercolor on paper, a popular medium for the artist, from 1900. The painting is a close-up view of a single branch of a shrub, with a prominent focus on the leaves. The leaves are rendered in a variety of shades of green and red, suggesting a shift in seasons. This piece is a fine example of Masek's attention to detail and his skill in capturing the beauty of nature.
