Landscape (after Paul Bril)

About this work

This sketch looks like a rough, fast drawing of a rocky hillside and a small bridge. The ink is mostly brown, with some gray wash for shadows. Trees and bushes are scattered across the hills, but they’re barely more than scribbles. The paper shows texture, and the lines are uneven, like the artist was working quickly. The loose, sketchy style suggests this might be a study or a copy of someone else’s work. The paper’s edges are frayed, and the ink is faded in spots, giving it an old feel. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
