This painting shows two tall birch trees in a forest. Their white bark has dark lines running down, and the trunks lean slightly. The background is a mix of green and brown, with other trees and shadows blending together. The artist focused on the light hitting the bark, making it look almost glowing. The trees stand close together, with no clear path between them. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create depth.
