Study of Chestnut Trees is a 1850 watercolor by Charles Claude Pyne, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a row of tall chestnut trees in a park. Their leaves are a mix of green and gold, and sunlight filters through the branches. In the distance, you can see a faint outline of water and a few people walking along a path. The artist focused on the texture of the bark and the way light hits the leaves. The painting looks like it was done outside, with quick, loose brushstrokes. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
