Beneath the Snow Encumbered Branches

Beneath the Snow Encumbered Branches is a 1901 oil on canvas work by Scottish painter Joseph Farquharson. Its whereabouts were unknown between it going on public display in 1901 and the 1960s, when it was bought by a private collector. It reappeared on public display again in 2008, when it was sold at auction, selling for over twice its initial estimate and remaining in private hands in Scotland. It has become well known, as its likeness is used on a popular Hallmark Christmas card.
