The Pine Bough is a 1919 ink by Bolton Brown, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph in black with chine collé on wove paper shows a serene landscape. In the foreground, a person sits on a hill, gazing out at a body of water. The scene is framed by a large tree branch, which stretches across the top of the image. The artist's use of shading and texture creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the tranquil scene. The Pine Bough is a beautiful example of Bolton Brown's skill with lithography. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, you might want to look up lithography next.
