Study of Hemlock, 1871 (from Sketchbook) 1870

Daniel Huntington's "Study of Hemlock, 1871 (from Sketchbook)" (1870) is a delicate pencil drawing that captures the intricate details of a hemlock branch. This small, yet detailed drawing, is part of a sketchbook and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection. It is a study of naturalism, characteristic of Huntington's artistic practice, and exemplifies his meticulous approach to capturing the beauty of the natural world. This piece is an example of his work in the genre of landscape drawing.
