Hollow Tree, after Roelant Savery is a 1670 by Lambert Doomer, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a tree with a hollow trunk and roots spreading across a rocky ground. The bark looks rough, and the branches are bare or dotted with a few small leaves. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with some green hints on the leaves. The title says it’s based on a work by Roelant Savery, an artist known for nature scenes. This piece feels loose and sketchy, like a quick study rather than a polished painting. If you like this style, look up Baroque—this sketch fits right into that movement’s natural, textured look.
