Trees and Rocks 1600 - 1700

"Trees and Rocks" is an anonymous 17th-century red chalk drawing currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The drawing depicts a landscape scene with a focus on a cluster of trees and rocky outcroppings. The artist uses delicate lines to capture the texture of the bark and the foliage, creating a sense of depth and dimension. This piece is a prime example of the detailed and expressive style of landscape drawings common during the 17th century.
