The Bishop's Apricot

Creator: Gustave Baumann
Offered by: William A. Karges Fine Art

Description
This print depicts the apricot tree at Archbishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy's retreat north of Santa Fe in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The pale coral pink leaves of the tree take up the majority of the composition, while the darker limbs and branches of the tree contrast sharply against them, and the verdant green grass of the hills indicate the onset of Spring.
