"Study of Trees" by Paul Cézanne exemplifies the artist's distinctive approach to form and color, characterized by a series of interlocking shapes that convey the solidity and structure of the trees. The composition employs a muted palette of greens and browns, with visible brushstrokes that enhance the textural quality of the foliage and trunks, reflecting Cézanne's interest in the interplay between nature and perception.
