Forest Clearing with an Oak Trunk is a 1829 ink by Carl August Lebschée, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet forest scene with a fallen oak trunk in the center. The bark looks rough and twisted, and small plants grow around it. A tall pine tree stands on the left, while bushes and trees fill the background. In the distance, two small figures walk along a path near a hill. The artist used shading to make the trees look thick and real. The lines are smooth but detailed, especially in the bark and leaves. This style was common in the early 1800s.
