Forest 1875 - 1885

Ladislav Mednyánszky's "Forest" is a pastel drawing from 1875-1885 that depicts a dense forest scene. The artist captures the essence of the woodland through subtle variations in tone and color. The dark silhouettes of the trees, rendered in charcoal, stand out against the hazy, ochre background, hinting at a warm, atmospheric day. The use of pastel creates a soft, ethereal effect, suggesting the dappled light filtering through the foliage. This artwork is a poignant example of Mednyánszky's mastery of landscape painting, capturing a serene and evocative moment in the natural world.
