Stillness in the forest

Oil painting by Miles de Montmorency depicting Stillness in the forest. Early 20th century.

This painting captures a tranquil forest scene. Tall trees with varying shades of brown and grey trunks dominate the left side, while dense, rich green foliage suggests a variety of tree species. The sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a dappled light effect on the ground. On the right side, there’s a clearing or pathway leading into the distance. The brushwork is loose and impressionistic, emphasizing the play of light and shadow to convey a peaceful atmosphere.
