Road at Hérisson is a 1911 paint by Henri-Joseph Harpignies, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet country road winding through a field. Tall, skinny trees line the path, their branches bare or lightly leafed. The ground looks dry and rough, with patches of grass and dirt. The sky above is just a pale, blank space. The artist used dark lines and shading to give the scene depth. The paper itself looks worn, with some damage showing through the ink. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
