You see a tangle of bare trees under a stormy sky, drawn in quick, dark lines. Nash made this in 1914, just before he shipped out to World War I. The jagged branches feel like nerves—no color, just raw energy. It’s not a finished picture, more like a sketch that got left on the table. If you like how the ink bleeds into the paper, look up the technique called watercolor, glazing.
