This sketch shows a quiet scene of trees and open grass under a pale sky. The brushstrokes are soft and watery, blending greens and yellows into a gentle haze. In the distance, faint hills sit low on the horizon, barely defined. The artist used loose, quick strokes to suggest light and space rather than sharp details. It feels like a moment caught on the spot, not polished. Next, check out Sir Alfred East for more of his work.
