Yew, from The Park and the Forest 1841

"Yew," from "The Park and the Forest" is a lithograph by the English artist James Duffield Harding. The artwork was created in 1841 and depicts a large yew tree in a graveyard with a church in the background. Harding, known for his detailed landscapes, captures the gnarled trunk and sprawling branches of the yew with precise lines and subtle shading. The composition creates a sense of tranquility, enhanced by the soft gray tones that dominate the scene. "Yew" is a fine example of Harding's ability to depict the natural world in a romantic and evocative way.
