Tree Study 1825

Theodore Rousseau's "Tree Study," a delicate pencil drawing, is a prime example of his focus on the natural world, a hallmark of the Barbizon School. The artist's careful rendering of the tree's branches and leaves, with their subtle variations in light and shadow, creates a sense of quiet contemplation and beauty. The artwork is small in scale but powerful in its meticulous detail, showcasing Rousseau's mastery of drawing and his appreciation for the simple wonders of nature.
