Sketches of Trees (from Sketchbook)

Albert Bierstadt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of trees on paper. The sketch is rectangular and oriented vertically. There are several trees sketched, with the central tree having a thick trunk and multiple long, thin branches extending upwards. To the left and right of the central tree are smaller, less detailed sketches of additional trees. The trees are drawn with pencil. The background of the sketch is white paper. The edges of the paper are slightly worn and there are some darker smudges on the left edge. The sketch is surrounded by a thick white border.
