The Skylark

Samuel Palmer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape drawing of a field with trees on the left side and a hedge or mound in the center. A square border is drawn around the landscape. The sky above has many short lines indicating texture or movement. A small sketch of a person holding something is on the right side of the paper. The paper is aged, with some discoloration and wear visible, particularly at the top. There is faint writing at the bottom, which reads "1st Sketch for Skylark".
