Grove of Trees
c. 1930

A sepia-toned sketch of a dense grove with gnarled trees and thick foliage. A wooden bench sits under the shade of the trees, suggesting a tranquil, secluded spot. The drawing exhibits a high level of detail in the texture of the tree bark and leaves, conveying a rustic and serene atmosphere.
