Landscape with Trees Framing a Stream (from Sketchbook) 1835 - 1839

Francis William Edmonds' "Landscape with Trees Framing a Stream" is a pencil sketch from his sketchbook. The artwork, which measures just 8 x 6 5/8 in., depicts a tranquil stream meandering through a wooded landscape. Edmonds, a renowned American artist, captured the natural beauty of the scene with loose strokes and delicate shading. The composition, with trees flanking the stream, creates a sense of depth and perspective. This intimate sketch is a testament to Edmonds' skill in capturing the fleeting moments of nature. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
