About the piece

Produced around 1890, this oil study by Albert Bierstadt reflects a playful exploration of color and symmetry outside of his better-known grand landscapes. Using a blotted-paint technique to achieve its kaleidoscopic form, the work captures a lively natural subject with a bold palette that remains fresh and modern in appeal.
