About this work

This painting shows a simple tree drawn with graphite on paper. The artist used gentle lines to create the tree's shape. The tree seems to be the main focus of the painting, with no other details around it, which makes it interesting because it's so plain. You can learn more about the artist's style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
