Brittany Trees 1885

"Brittany Trees," an etching by Charles Adams Platt, depicts a simple country scene in Brittany, France. The artist, known for his architectural and landscape designs, captures a quiet moment along a meandering path leading to a small cottage nestled amongst trees. The soft tones and delicate lines of the etching create a sense of peace and tranquility, evoking the serene beauty of the French countryside. This work, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies Platt's keen eye for detail and his ability to translate the essence of nature into evocative art.
