The title of this painting isn't clear; it's inscribed as "Gray Day" on the frame, but listed as "The Two Birches" in its NDG and General Services Administration records--which is followed here for the sake of institutional continuity. The canvas…

A mass of rocks at upper left is mirror by rising ground at lower right in this impressionist composition. Earth tones predominate, even in the water's surface, except for a delicately colored sky and treetops--at sunrise or sunset?About the Artist:…
