Bouquet d'arbres aux rochers (Stand of Trees with Rocks) is a 1847 ink by Henri-Joseph Harpignies, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with twisted trees and rocky ground. Two small figures stand near the center, one holding something like a stick. The background has wavy lines that look like water or mist, and a boat sits on the right side. The artist used a scratchy, textured style—like scratching into the paper—to create the lines. This was a common way to make prints before photography. Look up drypoint next to see how this technique works.
Henri-Joseph Harpignies (1898–1898) was an artist.
