About this work

This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with twisted trees and tangled branches. The ground is rough, with rocks and shadows. In the distance, a small figure sits near a stream, while below, two people sketch outdoors with an easel and a boat tied up by a fence. The artist included their signature in the corner, marking it as a 1913 work. The top image feels like a dreamy, shadowy forest, while the bottom sketch looks like a quick study of a real place. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
