The artwork, titled “Tree in the Workshop Garden,” was created by Ferdinand Hodler in 1917. This piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and is classified under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork depicts a tree within a garden, presumably one associated with a workshop, characteristic of Hodler’s style. The composition is dominated by the tree’s intricate branches and foliage, which are rendered with expressive brushstrokes and a vivid color palette. The use of contrasting shades of green, yellow, and dark hues highlights the tree’s structure and the play of light. The background appears to be a tranquil garden, with subtle hints of surrounding vegetation and possibly workshop-related structures, blending seamlessly into the scene. The dynamic and somewhat abstract representation captures the essence of nature through the artist’s unique lens, embodying the principles of the Post-Impressionist movement.
