The painting is called Tree Study. It's from the mid-1850s and is a landscape. The artist used pen, ink, and washes over graphite to create it. I don't know what it looks like, but I can tell you more about the context. The artist, John Ruskin, was part of the Romanticism movement, which emphasized emotion and nature. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
