Tree Filled with Crows 1867

"Tree Filled with Crows" is an etching by Charles François Daubigny, a renowned French landscape painter, created in 1867. The print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a serene countryside scene with a cluster of trees on a rolling hill. The focal point is the central tree, its branches bare and sparsely filled with crows. Daubigny's masterful use of light and shadow, evident in the finely etched lines, creates a sense of tranquility and solitude, characteristic of his artistic style. The scene evokes a melancholic yet poetic mood.
