Oaks, Wolf Hill, Ulster County

Andrew Fisher Bunner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of trees from a low perspective. The dense foliage obscures the horizon, creating an immersive view of the natural scene. The detailed pencil strokes capture the branches and leaves with shading. The color palette is monochromatic, using gray tones against light paper. The focus is on the trees, with some depth created by lighter shading in the distance.
