"Afgebroken boom met bladeren" (Broken Tree with Leaves) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Joannes Bemme. Created between 1809 and 1841, it is a detailed depiction of a broken tree with leaves. The meticulous detailing of the tree trunk, branches, and leaves showcases Bemme's skill in capturing the intricacies of nature.

It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, showcasing the talent of this lesser-known Dutch artist.
