About the piece

Created in 1903, Christian Rohlfs' 'Trunks of Pines in Sunlight' is a masterful example of early German modernism. The artist employs a vibrant, broken brushwork to dissolve the forest into a rhythmic pattern of warm and cool tones, capturing the flickering essence of sunlight filtering through the woods.
