The Forest at Courdemanche is a 1895 graphite by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet forest scene with tall, thin trees and a winding path cutting through the middle. The ground is covered in short, even strokes that look like grass or dirt. Shadows from the trees stretch across the path, and the whole image has a soft, sketchy feel. The artist used only graphite on paper, which gives it a rough, textured look. The trees are simple but stand out against the lighter background. If you like this style, check out Realism for more drawings that focus on everyday scenes.
Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (November 10, 1859 – December 13, 1923), was a Swiss-born French Art Nouveau painter and printmaker. He was politically engaged and collaborated with the anarchist and socialist press.
