Landscape with Trees Framing a Stream (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white pencil drawing of a river with a tree on one bank. The river stretches from the bottom-left corner to the center-left. A large tree with a thick trunk and many thin branches stands on the right bank. Several rocks are to the right of the river, stretching up to the tree. A steep cliff rises on the left bank, behind which additional trees are visible. The image is in a sketchbook.
