拍品专文

For a preliminary study of the same subject from the same year, see V. Anker, op.cit., p.392, no. 420. The author has divided the artist's oeuvre in a series of stylistic and thematical groups. She classifies the present lot under the '10th style, which is the group of fir trees and torrents (1848-1863).
