About this work

This sketch shows a single tree with twisted branches and sparse leaves, standing alone in the middle of a blank page. Below it, a small animal—maybe a rabbit—lies still on the ground. The background is faint, with just a hint of other trees far off. The artist signed it in the corner, but there’s no extra detail here. The whole thing feels quick, like a rough idea rather than a finished picture. If you like this loose, sketchy style, look up lithography to see how it’s made.
