This painting shows a quiet winter scene. Snow blankets the ground. Bare trees stretch up. A small path cuts through the woods. Rivière made 12 prints for walls, not books. He wanted nature in homes and schools. Thick layers of ink give the trees a rough, real look. His prints feel like photographs. Check out Henri Rivière (French, 1864–1951) next.
