The Old Willow is a 1927 by Harold G. Griffith, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a lone willow tree by a quiet body of water. The branches twist and spread out like spider legs, while the roots tangle in the foreground. Light and shadow play across the bark, making the tree look rough but alive. The artist used different shades of black ink to show depth, almost like carving with light. The water’s surface is smooth, with just a few ripples near the shore. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more prints like this.
Harold G. Griffith (1904–1996) was an American artist.
