The work “Birch Forest” shows a dense birch forest in which the colours shimmer through the dominant dark tones. The white of the birch trunks, the red of the leafy ground and the green of the leaves appear as if shining through a veil. The pastose application of paint creates the shadowy effect that enlivens the picture.
