Group of trees in the dunes near Haarlem, Groupe d'arbres dans les dunes près de Haarlem (original title), print, printmaker: Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, c. 1880, Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, printmaker, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 158 mm x width 228 mm, groups of trees, Haarlem, A sepia-toned pen drawing shows a group of trees with twisting trunks and arching branches filling the scene. The tree bark is rendered with dense, vertical lines and cross-hatching, while foliage is suggested by short, sketchy strokes clustered along the upper canopy and on many branches. Several trunks lean at angles and interweave, creating open spaces between them that reveal a lightly textured background. The ground is indicated by scattered grasses and small shrubs drawn with fine lines, and a few slender saplings and thin branches extend outward from the main trunks. Overall the image emphasizes linear detail and the organic, curving forms of the trees against a plain, pale backdrop.
