Examples of branch scaling in different works of art

Caption

Two examples of tree stone carvings from the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque are shown on the left. "Cherry Blossoms" by Matsumuara Goshun is shown on the right. Although "Cherry Blossoms" looks more realistic, researchers found the tree in the top-left carving had the most "tree-like" branch diameter scaling exponent.
