Trees, West Virginia

About this work

This sketch shows a single tall tree with twisted branches and sparse leaves. The bark is rough and detailed, while the top of the tree fades into a lighter, almost ghostly shape. The background has a few smaller trees and a faint, blurry outline of hills or more trees. The paper looks old and yellowed, with some stains and tears around the edges. The artist signed it in the corner with the words *"West Virginia"* and *"A.F. Bunner."* Next, check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see more works like this.
