Tree Trunks. Arresødal near Frederiksværk, North Zealand is a 1904 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a group of tall, thin trees standing close together in a dimly lit forest. The bark is dark, almost black, while the sky peeks faintly through the branches. The ground looks soft and shadowy, blending into the muted colors of the scene. The trees lean slightly, as if swaying in the wind. The light is soft, making the edges of the trunks blend into the background. This style reminds you of *chiaroscuro*.
