Douglas sparren c. 1900 - 1940

"Douglas Sparren" is a photograph by Richard Tepe, a Dutch photographer known for his landscapes and nature scenes. Taken sometime between 1900 and 1940, this sepia-toned image showcases a group of Douglas fir trees in a soft, atmospheric light. The muted tones and lack of clear details create a sense of tranquility and evoke a sense of mystery, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty and serenity of the natural world. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Tepe's artistic vision and his interest in capturing the essence of nature.
