About this work

This sketch shows tangled branches and wild plants drawn in loose, quick lines. The paper has a yellowish tint with small brown spots. In the top right corner, there’s a tiny signature and date—just barely readable. Below, another cluster of brush and flowers fills the lower half, also lightly sketched. The artist focused on rough, natural shapes instead of smooth details. This style was common for quick outdoor studies back then.
