About this work

This sketch shows a lone elm tree with bare branches and a few small leaves. The ground around it is rough, with a mix of grass and dirt, and a faint fence or wall runs along the bottom. The paper has a yellowish tint, and the lines are light but detailed, focusing on the tree’s twisted shape. The artist signed and dated it in the corner—June 30, 1866. The drawing looks simple but catches how the tree stands alone in the scene. Next, check out Realism to see how artists like this one focused on everyday scenes.
