Under the Greenwood Tree is a 1902 watercolor by Lionel Percy Smythe, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A child in a dark coat stands on a narrow dirt path, reaching toward a tree branch. The forest around them is thick with green bushes and trees, their leaves a mix of dark and light shades. Pink flowers dot the ground, and the child’s shadow stretches long across the path. The painting uses soft colors and loose brushstrokes to show light filtering through the trees. The child’s focus on the branch feels quiet and curious. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
