Small Study of Trees is a 1900 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a tangled mess of tree branches and trunks, all drawn in quick, wavy lines. The paper is light and worn, with some dark smudges where the pencil pressed hard. There’s a faint outline of a building or fence at the bottom, barely visible under the scribbles. The artist seems to have been more interested in movement than detail—trees look alive, almost like they’re swaying. The date isn’t clear, but the style fits the late 1800s or early 1900s. If you like this loose, energetic style, check out Impressionism.
