The Gully is a 1932 by David Little, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet forest scene with five tall, skinny trees standing in a row. Their branches twist and spread out, some bare, some with a few leaves. The ground is covered in tangled roots and dry grass, and the background fades into a soft, distant line of trees. The artist used sharp, scratchy lines to show every bark crack and root twist—like they were drawing with a pencil pressed hard into the paper. It looks like they wanted to show how rough and wild the forest really is. If you like this style, check out David Little (Australian, 1893–1951) for more of his detailed nature prints.
