About this work

This print shows a quiet, misty scene with a cluster of gnarled poplar trees by a river. The branches twist sharply, almost like they’re reaching for something. In the distance, a small hill and a few buildings peek through the haze. The trees look wild but controlled—every line is carefully etched, almost like a sketch. The artist focused on the trees’ rough shapes and the soft light around them. Want to see more prints like this? Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
