Peisaj din Hérisson is a 1897 by Henri Harpignies, a Impressionism work, depicting Tree, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This sketch shows a quiet landscape with a bare tree on rocky ground. The branches twist against a pale sky, and the rocks are drawn with rough, uneven lines. Light and shadow separate the tree from the jagged stones below. The artist signed it in the corner, and the paper looks worn, like it’s been handled a lot. This sketch was made in 1897 by Henri Harpignies, who focused on simple, natural scenes. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
