Tree Near the Shore

James Goodwyn Clonney

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a ground-level perspective with a large, gnarled tree on the left side. The tree has branches and leaves drawn in a light, sketchy style. Two small figures are on the right side, one standing and pointing, the other kneeling or sitting. The horizon is low in the drawing, indicating an open landscape beyond. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of gray on off-white paper.
