A Summer Afternoon

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet forest scene. Tall trees stand close together, their branches bare or lightly covered with leaves. In the foreground, bushes and wild plants fill the space, some with small white flowers. The ground looks uneven, with patches of grass and shadows. The artist used fine lines to create texture, making the leaves and bark look almost real. The light falls softly, leaving some areas darker and others lighter. Next, check out Elis F. Miller (American) to see more of their work.
