This sketch shows bare trees with tangled branches in the foreground. A few small figures walk along a path near a fence, and a building sits in the distance. The moon hangs low over the scene, casting a faint glow. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like wind through branches. This style fits both Impressionism and Realism. Next, look up etching to see how artists create similar effects.
