Tak van een berk tegen egale achtergrond c. 1900 - 1940

This photograph, "Tak van een berk tegen egale achtergrond" by Richard Tepe, shows a close-up of a birch branch with its catkins, delicate pendulous structures that are a defining characteristic of this tree species. Taken sometime between 1900 and 1940, the image showcases Tepe's interest in capturing the intricate details of nature. The simple background allows the viewer to focus entirely on the intricate texture and form of the branch and its catkins. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, represents Tepe's artistic approach to capturing natural beauty through the lens of photography.
