In this composition by French artist Emile Rampelberg, several small scrub trees with yellow foliage and black bark bend in unison under the force of a gentle wind. This watercolor painting doesn't feature much detail beyond the trees, just fluffy yellow grass below them and beyond, only hazy skies and a horizon shaped in sweeps of blue and purple. The trees are lone bright specs on an island in a sea of colorful fog. Provenance: Galerie Felix Vercel, New York.
