About the piece

In this masterful Tonalist work by Charles Warren Eaton, a group of tall pine trees, the 'sentinels,' dominate the foreground against a luminous, moonlit sky. Painted around 1909, the work's deep, resonant tones and soft, diffused light create a contemplative and mysterious atmosphere characteristic of Eaton's best-known landscapes.
