Study of a Palm Tree (recto); Mountain Landscape (verso) ca. 1635-40 Nicolas Poussin French This rare, double-sided sheet comprises two studies by Nicolas Poussin, a founding figure of the French grand manner. It is part of a small group of surviving landscape drawings, presumably made in plein air, that offer evidence that Poussin's classicizing landscapes were based on the direct observation of nature.On the recto is a study of a palm tree with lush foliage and rough bark. Detailed studies of individual landscape motifs are otherwise unknown in Poussin's oeuvre, though lone palm trees do occupy prominent positions in several of his paintings, where they serve to identify the setting as the Holy Land. On the verso, Poussin created an expansive landscape with a remarkable economy of means. Although the composition does not appear to be connected to an extant painting, the distant craggy peaks, the stand of trees to the right, and the tree used as a repoussoir on the left are all typica
