Three Trees, Hoboken 1834

"Three Trees, Hoboken" is a graphite drawing by American artist Asher B. Durand, completed in 1834. It depicts a group of three trees against a plain background. The trees are carefully rendered with meticulous detail, showcasing Durand's mastery of the medium and his focus on capturing the natural world with accuracy. This drawing exemplifies Durand's early style, influenced by the Hudson River School, and highlights his interest in the specific and the detail, which became characteristic of his later, more celebrated landscape paintings. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
