Stam van een wilg before 1876

"Stam van een wilg" (Trunk of a Willow) is a black and white photograph by American artist William James Stillman, created before 1876. The image depicts a close-up view of a willow tree trunk, likely in a natural setting. The circular format and the detailed depiction of the tree's texture, capturing its gnarled branches and rough bark, highlight Stillman's interest in the beauty of nature. The photo is part of his larger body of work documenting landscapes and natural scenes.
