Pines is a 1880 ink by Carl C. Brenner, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a group of tall pine trees with lots of branches and needles. The trees are dark and detailed, standing on a small hill. The background is light and fuzzy, like a soft sky or mist. The artist used a technique that scratches lines into metal plates instead of painting. This lets the ink fill the grooves, creating sharp details in the trees. Check out etching to see how artists make prints this way.
