About this work

This print shows a single apple tree in a field. The tree’s branches twist across the sky, its leaves packed tight. Below, grass waves in rows, like a field ready for harvest. The whole scene is in black ink on a light background, with no color. The artist signed it in the corner: *Meade A. Spencer*. That’s a rare name—most people don’t know his work. Look up Meade Ashley Spencer (American, 1896–1956) next to see more of his quiet, precise prints.
