Tree Landscape (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a tree landscape. The sketch is on a white piece of paper with a black border around it, slightly rounded on the right side. The paper appears to be from a sketchbook, with a perforated binding on the left side. The sketch itself is a simple pencil drawing of several trees. The tree on the left appears to have a single trunk while the tree on the right appears to be a cluster of trees with the trunks not fully drawn. The trees are drawn in varying shades of grey, with the darkest shading on the left side of the page. The background of the image is plain white. The title of the piece is "Tree Landscape (from Sketchbook)" and the artist is Albert Bierstadt.
