Label TextThis old sycamore tree stood next to the Gilpin–Painter house in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, near the site of the Battle of the Brandywine during the Revolutionary War. The drawing captures the tiny buds and sparse leaves of early spring and was published with the title New Leaves during the artist's lifetime.
