The brook on Twachtman's Greenwich farm is frozen and banked with snow, a few dark patches of open water and the orange leaves of a beech showing through. The thick, creamy paint of the snow gives the picture an almost sculptural surface. It is in the Art Institute of Chicago.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
A snowy brook in white, teal and rust for a bedroom, hallway or study in a thin black frame. It suits white or pale grey walls and pairs with Winter Harmony.
