Tree and Rocks

Walter Shirlaw

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing titled "Tree and Rocks" by Walter Shirlaw. The drawing depicts a tree on the left with a thin trunk and sparse foliage, situated on a grassy slope that descends to a rocky outcrop on the right. The rocky outcrop features jagged boulders stacked on top of each other, with darker shading suggesting crevices and texture. The tree's roots partially cover a steep drop on the slope. The drawing is framed by a thin black border on a white background.
