Copper Beech 1963

Charles Arthur Wells, Jr.'s 1963 black and white etching, *Copper Beech,* depicts a solitary tree against a light background. The dense foliage and intricate branches create a sense of depth and texture. The artist's use of line and shading in the printmaking technique creates a stark and dramatic portrayal of the tree's presence. This work is a testament to Wells' mastery of printmaking, as it captures the beauty and strength of nature with exquisite detail.
