Encombe Woods (No.1) is a 1881 graphite by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with two deer standing near a small stream. The trees and bushes are drawn with quick, loose lines, almost like scribbles. The water looks rough, with jagged strokes suggesting movement. The artist used a mix of dark and light marks to show shadows and light. The deer are simple but clear, standing still in the middle of the busy lines around them. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create these kinds of prints.
