Artist, Italian, 1848 - 1929

The image shows a group of trees in a sketch-like style. The trees are positioned slightly left of center on a subtle incline. There is limited color, focusing on warm tones and dark lines. The trees are outlined with fine pen lines without much shading. Branches with sparse foliage extend upwards in the foreground, while distant trees and bushes are lightly suggested for depth. The background is bare, enhancing the simplicity of the central trees.
