Black and white sketch of a forest interior with tall trees, some bare and some with leaves, on a white background. The sketch is rectangular. The trees are drawn with dark shading and varying line thickness, some with visible trunks, branches, and foliage. A dirt path leads into the forest. The sketch has a small inscription in the top left corner. The overall style is impressionistic with expressive brushstrokes. Forest Interior (from Sketchbook X) by William Trost Richards.
