This drawing shows a simple landscape with soft, watery shapes. There’s a large tree on the left, its branches fading into a pale brown blur. To the right, a smaller tree and a few bushes sit near a faint outline of a river or path. The sky is just a light wash of blue-gray, barely there. The whole scene looks like it was made with quick, loose strokes—no sharp lines. The artist used a technique where ink spreads and blends, almost like a watercolor. This makes everything look dreamy and a little unclear, like a sketch from memory. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
