With the needle Rembrandt scratched powerful incisions directly on the copper plate; these bold lines underscore the tall tree at the left. He used less force for the trees surrounding the cottage and the vista at the right. This sketchiness recalls the style he used when drawing in nature. Rembrandt would translate such a sketch done out of doors into a print.
