Mountain PInes is a 1840 ink by Alexandre Calame, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows tall, dark pine trees by a rocky river. The water looks rough, with small waves hitting the rocks. The trees are thick and twisty, with some fallen branches on the ground. The artist used a scratchy, textured style to show light hitting the trees. This was made in 1840. Next, check out etching to see how artists create these kinds of lines.
