Avenue of Trees

About this work

This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with tall, thin trees lining a path. The ground is rough with patches of grass and shadows. A small boat sits near the left side, and a lone figure walks along the edge of the water. The sky is light, with faint blue and gray washes. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture the trees and movement. The blue-gray washes add depth without heavy color.
