Landscape

Seth Wells Cheney

National Gallery of Art

This drawing shows a landscape with a path leading into a cluster of trees scattered across a gentle slope, some forming a small grove to the right and a few standing isolated to the left. The drawing is done in a sketchy style in shades of gray and black against the off-white background. Lightly sketched lines indicate grasses and shadows surrounding the path, transitioning into denser tones in the distance.
