Wooded Landscape is a 1796 chalk by Thomas, Dr. Monro, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a landscape with trees and bushes. The scene is mostly dark, with some lighter areas. There are no people or buildings visible. The artist used black chalk and gray wash to create the image. The style is quite loose and expressive, with lots of texture and movement. If you like this painting, you might want to look up more works by the Romanticism movement.
