Early Morning - Richmond is a 1859 ink by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet park at dawn. Trees stand dark against a faint sky, their branches tangled and heavy. A path winds through the scene, leading toward a distant building. The ground is patchy with grass and shadows. The artist used fine lines to catch light and shade, almost like scratching into the paper. This was a way to make quick, detailed drawings. Next, check out etching, drypoint to see how artists create these kinds of sketches.
