Birch Trees

A vertical composition divided into blocks of black, grey, and mustard-yellow, with tall narrow stripes suggesting birch trunks rendered in pale grey-on-cream on the left and yellow-on-olive on the right, separated by a flat grey band near the base. No figures are present; the palette and blocky sectioning give the print a stark, abstracted, almost architectural mood rather than a naturalistic woodland scene. Birch Trees, by Paul Furneaux, mokuhanga, year unknown.
