Sketchbook, page 28: Landscape Study

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on aged paper, depicting a landscape. A tree stands on a raised area, with a low wall or fence running horizontally behind it. The tree has a thin trunk and a rounded crown. In the background, rolling hills and fields are visible. A small structure or figure can be seen in the distance on the right side. The paper has a light gray color with darker gray pencil marks. The edges of the paper are worn and slightly yellowed. Three small holes are visible on the left side, likely from binding. The overall style is simple and realistic.
