Look for white gaps inside the treetops as well as in the clearing, then find the tiny figures beneath the arching branches.
This landscape, made around 1904, combines watercolor and crayon on paper. Cross leaves gaps between his colored marks, allowing the paper itself to supply much of the brightness. The loose dabs gather into trees, people, and a sunlit clearing without entirely losing their identity as separate touches.
