Man in Snow

Henry Inman

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a person lying on the ground with one arm raised, positioned near a barren tree against a cloudy backdrop. The image is rendered in pencil. The figure is reclining slightly on the ground with one arm bent behind the head, while the other arm is raised skyward. The barren tree on the left is contorted, its branches reaching upwards. The background consists of sweeping lines suggesting a cloudy or misty sky. The paper shows signs of wear, with its edges slightly frayed and toned.
