About this work

This sketch looks like a fast, loose drawing of a snowy forest. The trees are just rough lines and scribbles, with some areas filled in darker to show shadows. The paper has light pencil marks everywhere, like the artist was working quickly. There’s writing in the corners—words like “blue” and “white” mixed with random letters. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to show texture, almost like the trees are breathing. The date in the corner says 1915, but the drawing feels more like a rough note than a finished piece. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
