About the piece

Painted around 1905 by Henry Ossawa Tanner, this Tonalist masterpiece captures the legendary Abraham's Oak under a luminous moon. The cool blue palette and soft, ethereal light create a contemplative, almost sacred mood, highlighting the majestic silhouette of the gnarled tree against the vast night sky.
