Le Bouleau

19th-century oil on wood panel, titled “Le Bouleau”(The Birch). The work is presented in a more modern light wooden frame.

A charming small-format vertical forest scene, sober and elegant, composed around two birch trees. 

In this refined view, it's all about contrasts: the white trunks draw the eye to the center, while the dark vegetation in the foreground anchors the scene. The brushstrokes are lightly textured yet precise. The imposing sky fixes the two trees but seems to be moving. 

A simple study, without excess, that precisely captures the balance of a landscape observed.
