The Bouquet of Trees, or The Lindens (Souvenir of the Sarthe) 1861

Eugène Blery’s 1861 etching "The Bouquet of Trees, or The Lindens (Souvenir of the Sarthe)" depicts a verdant landscape with a group of trees dominating the scene. The trees, likely lindens, are rendered in detail, emphasizing their texture and form. The artist’s meticulous technique in etching contributes to the sense of realism in the landscape, highlighting the natural beauty of the trees. The composition, focused on the trees, evokes a sense of serenity and tranquility, inviting viewers to appreciate the natural world. The etching is held at the Art Institute of Chicago and is an excellent example of Blery's work in landscape etching.
