About this work

This sketch shows bare trees with tangled branches framing a small, dark brook. The lines are rough and scratchy, like the artist hurried or was experimenting. In the distance, a faint tower or building peeks through the trees. The paper looks old and textured, with a yellowish tint—likely from age. The artist signed it in the corner, but the words are hard to read. Next, check out drypoint to see how this technique works.
