A young tree with a twisted trunk stands on a grassy bank in the foreground, while beyond it a white latticed footbridge arches over a still, pale stream. Twachtman built the bridge over Horseneck Brook on his farm in Greenwich, Connecticut, and returned to it in several canvases around 1895. Here the bridge is set high in the picture and the whole scene is washed in chalky greens and blues. This version is in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
