About this work

This drawing shows a group of people gathered around a large tree with fluffy branches. The figures are simple and soft-edged, drawn in light brown lines against a pale background. Some people are standing, others are sitting or leaning, and one person holds a small child. The artist used smooth, flowing lines to create a calm, dreamy scene. The tree’s branches curve like clouds, and the people blend into the landscape. Next, look up Lucien Pissarro (British, 1863–1944) to see more of his gentle, nature-filled art.
