About the piece

Created during a visit to California in 1915, this landscape by Dutch Impressionist Willem Witsen depicts a rugged coastal scene near Monterey. The composition centers on the characteristic silhouette of a cypress tree atop a sand bank, rendered in a sophisticated palette of ochres and deep forest greens that evoke a sense of quiet solitude.
