Trees in a Field is a 1801 graphite by Walter Shirlaw, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This landscape sketch shows a field with trees in the background. The trees have thin branches and are scattered across the horizon. In the foreground, the field is empty with some grass and what appears to be a small stream or ditch running through it. The sketch is done in graphite on wove paper, with a focus on capturing the natural scenery. The trees and field are rendered in simple yet effective lines, giving the impression of a peaceful and serene environment.
