near Shiloh is a 1870 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a lone tree standing next to a crumbling stone building. The tree has thick branches and a rough trunk, while the building looks old and half-buried in the ground. The background has faint hills and a few scattered lines that might be hills or trees. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest light and shadow, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The drawing looks like it was done fast, almost like a quick note of what they saw. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more sketches like it.
