The Pines 1935 - 1943

"The Pines" is a black and white etching created by Mortimer Borne, a prominent American artist, between 1935 and 1943. The piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a winding path leading towards a small town. The composition features prominent pine trees flanking the path and houses peeking through the foliage in the background, creating a peaceful and intimate atmosphere. Borne's distinct style, known for its detailed lines and expressive use of light and shadow, highlights the beauty of the natural world and the quietude of the rural landscape.
