Old Virginny is a 1867 graphite by Andrew Fisher Bunner, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch presents two rustic log cabins, each with its own unique charm. The top cabin features a covered porch and a chimney, while the bottom one has a chimney and a door. Both cabins are surrounded by a fence and situated in a natural setting. The sketch is rendered in graphite on wove paper, showcasing the artist's attention to detail and texture. The use of graphite allows for a range of tonal values, from light to dark, which adds depth and dimension to the scene. For more information on the artist's technique, explore the world of chiaroscuro, a method that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
