Painting of a large tree with twisted roots in the foreground, dark forest trunks behind it, and a small figure in a dark coat and white cap at right.

Girl in the Woods

A thick tree trunk with exposed, gnarled roots dominates the left foreground of this painting, while tall dark trunks recede into a hazy forest beyond. A small figure in a dark coat and white cap stands on the warm orange-brown forest floor at right, painted in loose, visible brushstrokes.
