About this work

This pencil drawing shows tall oaks with thick trunks and rough bark. The artist used sharp lines to show the rough bark and softer shading for the leaves. Bunner drew this in 1866, before photography was common. He focused on the trees' shapes and textures rather than just their looks. See it in person at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
