A Sun-dappled Meadow by a River is a 1890 ink by Albion Bicknell, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows a quiet river cutting through a field of tall grass. A big tree stands near the water, its branches spreading wide. The sky is light, with soft lines that look almost like mist. The whole scene is drawn in shades of brown and gray, with no bright colors. The artist used a technique that layers lines to build up shadows and light. This makes the scene look simple but also full of detail. Look up *cross-hatching* to see how artists create depth with lines.
