Treetop 1847

"Treetop" is a pencil drawing on paper created by German artist Peter Becker in 1847. This detailed study depicts a tree, focusing on its intricate branches and foliage. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the careful rendering of the tree's structure, capturing the subtle variations in texture and light. Becker's work, held at the Städel Museum, exemplifies a focus on nature as a subject and a preference for accurate representation, a characteristic of 19th-century German landscape art.
