About this work

Overview

Created in 1935 by the artist identified as 397_person, this image captures a linear arrangement of willows beside a tranquil waterway. The composition is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography, where it is displayed as an example of early twentieth‑century landscape representation.

Subject & Meaning

The picture presents a succession of tall, leafy willows whose trunks rise robustly from a narrow strip of land. Their branches spread outward, their foliage rendered in shades of green and blue‑green, while the calm water mirrors subtle yellow and green tones, suggesting a quiet, reflective natural setting.

Technique & Style

The artist employed a heavily textured application of pigment, giving the surface a palpable thickness that conveys a sense of movement within the still scene. This impasto‑like handling of paint emphasizes the volume of the trees and the surface of the water, creating a tactile visual experience.

History & Provenance

Since its completion, the work has remained within institutional holdings, ultimately entering the Museum of Ethnography’s archives. Its acquisition date is not recorded publicly, but the piece has been part of the museum’s exhibitions of regional landscape imagery from the 1930s.
