Catalogue note

A woodland interior is dissolved into vivid yellow-green light and dark vertical trunks, with shafts of sun falling across a pale path. The paint is handled in broad, wet strokes that give the foliage a dense, breathing texture, and depth is suggested entirely by the alternation of shadow and glare. The mood is close, humid and quietly luminous.
