About the piece

Painted circa 1870 by Jules Dupré, a key figure of the Barbizon school, this work captures the rugged character of an ancient oak tree. The dramatic contrast between the sun-dappled foliage and the brooding, expressive sky reflects the artist's mastery of atmospheric light and textured brushwork.
