Ruisdael produced around one hundred forty wooded landscapes. Here he represents a corner of sun-washed woodland, with a sturdy, weathered elm twisting skyward. The artist was fascinated by the patterning of thorny branch and leaf against the sky, but his interest was in more than the picturesque, for the elm's uppermost branches are botanically accurate.
