About the piece

Created around 1850 by French landscape artist Jacques Raymond Brascassat, this oil painting captures the enduring presence of mature oak trees. The composition features a striking contrast between the reaching, bare branches of a weathered tree on the left and the dense, vibrant green foliage of the central cluster, all set against an expansive, sun-softened sky.
