Trees, West Virginia

Andrew Fisher Bunner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil drawing of a tall tree with a slender trunk and full, sprawling branches. The tree is detailed with a focus on the texture and density of its foliage, depicted through intricate pencil strokes that convey lightness and movement. The background is light-toned, emphasizing the monochromatic color palette of various shades of gray and natural beige. Minimal details in the backdrop keep the focus on the tree.
