Pine, Lake George is a 1871 by David Johnson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows two twisted pine trees on a flat, light background. The branches are thin and detailed, with some small clusters of needles. One tree leans to the side, and the other stands taller, with a few rocks and a faint line of water below. The artist signed it "Pine, Lake George" and dated it 1871. The trees look simple but full of character, almost like sketches you’d find in nature journals. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
