Outline Sketch of Tress (from Sketchbook VII)

William Trost Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a sketch of a tree line. The sketch is on a piece of paper with a white border around it. The tree line is drawn with a single continuous line that forms the outline of several trees. The line drawing depicts the silhouette of a group of trees with varying heights and shapes. A straight line underneath the trees appears to represent the ground. The paper has small dark spots on it, possibly stains or smudges. The paper is rectangular, with a slight shadow visible at the top. Three small holes are visible on the left edge of the paper.
