Trees c. 1913

"Trees" is a watercolor painting by John Singer Sargent from around 1913. The work showcases Sargent's signature loose and expressive brushwork, capturing the essence of trees and their surrounding landscape in a dynamic interplay of color and light. The artist's use of vibrant hues, particularly the greens and blues, evokes the feeling of a lush, sun-drenched environment. Despite the Impressionistic style, the work retains a sense of realism, grounding the viewer in the natural world. The painting's gestural style and vibrant color palette are characteristic of Sargent's later works, reflecting his fascination with capturing the fleeting beauty of nature.
