"description": "Cottonwood trees that spread throughout the New Mexico landscape provided subjects for several of Georgia O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s paintings, including this example. Although no longer living, the majestic cottonwood seen here is framed against a distant double-peaked land mass in near symmetry. Upon her death at age 98, the artist bequeathed this painting\u2014along with four others\u2014to the Cleveland Museum of Art, an early supporter of her work.",
