The Stone Wall with Woods 1918

Robert Henri’s 1918 pastel drawing, "The Stone Wall with Woods," depicts a verdant forest scene with a stone wall in the foreground. The artist, a key figure in the Ashcan School movement, is known for his realist depictions of urban life and landscapes. In this piece, he uses bold brushstrokes and contrasting colors to create a sense of depth and light. The dark green hues of the trees and rocks contrast with the vibrant yellow-green of the sunlit foliage, creating a dynamic visual experience. Henri's portrayal of nature's beauty is both realistic and expressive, showcasing his unique artistic style.
