Woman Standing beneath Two Trees is a 1877 chalk by William Morris Hunt, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman standing under two tall trees. The trees have thin, branching lines, and their leaves are drawn in quick, light strokes. The woman’s dress is simple, with loose folds, and her posture is relaxed but slightly turned. The artist used only black chalk on a light paper, making the lines look soft and sketchy. The trees take up most of the space, almost like they’re framing her. Try looking up Hunt, William Morris next to see more of his work.
William Morris Hunt (March 31, 1824 – September 8, 1879) was an American painter.
