A Stand of Trees

Heinrich Dreber

National Gallery of Art

The image shows detailed sketches of tree trunks with precise lines depicting bark texture. The trunks and branches fill the frame with no visible horizon. The drawing style includes fine lines for leaves and branches. The color palette is muted with shades of grey. Fallen leaves and branches are depicted near the base of the trees, and thinner lines in the distance suggest more foliage.
