Pond in the Forest, Practice

Pond in the Forest, Practice is a painting by Werner Holmberg, created in 1854. It's housed at the Ateneum and measures 0.35 meters in width and 0.265 meters in height. The painting depicts a tranquil pond nestled within a forest. The foreground features lush, green vegetation, including tall grasses and broad-leaved plants. The middle ground shows the still water of the pond, partially obscured by the vegetation. The background is dominated by dark, shadowy trees, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The overall palette is muted, with greens, browns, and dark tones predominating, contributing to the peaceful and somewhat melancholic atmosphere. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
