Japanse den before 1892

"Japanse den," a black and white photograph by William Kinnimond Burton, captures a solitary pine tree reaching out over a body of water, possibly a lake or bay. Taken before 1892, the photograph reflects the artist's interest in Japanese landscapes, a popular subject among late 19th century Western artists. The image, with its focus on the tree's graceful silhouette against the muted background, evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty.
