The Yew at Clifton

Thales Fielding

National Gallery of Art

The drawing displays a tree with roots and branches. The main focus is a large root structure extending upwards and to the right. The background hints at a forest scene. The drawing is in pencil, with shading to show depth and texture. The monochrome palette emphasizes the roots and branches, with varying shades of gray. A faintly sketched figure can be seen in the distance, partially obscured by the landscape.
