Pine Tree is a 1884 graphite by Paul Cezanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a single pine tree drawn in loose, quick pencil lines. The branches twist upward, and the trunk is rough and textured. The paper has a yellowish tint, like an old book page. The artist didn’t focus on perfect details—just the shape and mood of the tree. The lines feel almost like a quick note, not a finished drawing. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
Paul Cézanne was born on January 19, 1839, in Aix-en-Provence, the son of a hatter turned wealthy banker.
