Cape Ann Willows is a 1887 ink by Charles A. Platt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a landscape with trees and grass in the foreground, and a body of water in the background. The scene is depicted in black and white, with varying shades of gray used to create depth and texture. The artist's use of drypoint in black gives the painting a sense of simplicity and elegance. The focus on the natural world, with its emphasis on light and shadow, is reminiscent of Impressionist and Realist styles.
