Warren C. Briggs (American, 1867 - 1903) Forest Interior with Birch Tree

This painting, "Forest Interior with Birch Tree" illustrates Warren Brigg's command of portraying light effects—capturing a break in the dense, dark forest interior illuminating a briskly flowing stream and the nearby birch tree.

Warren C. Briggs was a 19th Century artist noted for his paintings of rustic barnyard scenes with chickens and roosters, and exquisitely detailed landscapes.
