1880
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Untitled (Wooded Landscape) is a 1880 ink by Samuel Colman, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows bare trees with twisted branches against a dark, cloudy sky. The ground is rough and cracked, with no leaves—just sticks and shadows. A small building or bridge sits in the middle, barely lit by faint light. The artist used sharp lines and dark tones to make the scene feel cold and empty. This style was common in late 1800s American prints. Check out the technique: etching, drypoint to see how artists like this made marks with acid and needles.
Samuel Colman (March 4, 1832 – March 26, 1920) was an American painter, interior designer, and writer, probably best remembered for his paintings of the Hudson River.
