Ash, from The Park and the Forest 1841

"Ash, from The Park and the Forest" (1841) is a pencil drawing by British artist James Duffield Harding (1797-1863). The artwork depicts a rural landscape with a winding road leading through a dense grove of trees. The scene is rendered in delicate detail with a focus on light and shadow. Harding was known for his skill in capturing atmospheric effects, evident in the way he uses shading to create a sense of depth and volume. The artwork is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
