About the piece

Created in 1867 by American landscape painter David Johnson, this oil study focuses on the majestic form of a cedar tree. The work showcases the artist's meticulous attention to natural textures, from the deeply fissured bark to the individual clusters of evergreen needles, all set against a soft, luminous sky.
