About this work

This sketch shows a tangled cluster of branches and leaves. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried note of nature. Some leaves are full and rounded, others just hints of shapes. The artist signed it in the corner with the date "29/09/1891." It’s not a polished drawing—just a study, capturing how plants grow in real life.
