Cradles
1947

A dramatic landscape painting featuring a gnarled, twisted tree in the foreground with exposed roots and a hollow trunk. The background shows a pastoral scene with rolling hills, fields, and a distant figure in red walking along a path. The sky is tumultuous with swirling clouds, suggesting an impending storm.
