About this motif
In spring birches are among the first to come into leaf; their fresh, light green heralds the new season. Their sap was even used to make a hair tonic in the past.
Gerhards' colour etching "Birches in Spring" shows a light group of young birches with their first green on a meadow, with fields and the edge of a wood behind. Image about 19 x 19 cm, framed on request.
