Rockingham is a 1904 by Alfred East, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with tall, thin trees and a winding path. The artist used only pencil strokes—no color—to show light and shadow. A small bridge or fallen log sits near the path, and the trees lean slightly, like they’re swaying in the wind. The drawing looks rough but careful, with lots of tiny lines building up the shapes. It’s like the artist was more interested in how light hits the leaves than in making everything perfect. Want to see more work like this? Check out cross-hatching next.
