Landscape with Foreground Trees (from Sketchbook)

Francis William Edmonds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a landscape with trees in the foreground. Two prominent trees have thick trunks and are positioned on the left. The trees have a large canopy of leaves at the top. The trunks are light-colored with darker shading. The trees are on a small hill with sparse grass and several rocks. In the background, there are more trees and a body of water. On the right side of the image, there are several large rocks protruding from the water. The sky above is light gray and featureless. The image is drawn on white paper with a black border around the edges. The image appears to be a page from a sketchbook.
