Study of a tree trunk
Jacques de Gheyn (II), 1598 - 1608
Jacques de Gheyn regularly ventured out into nature, taking chalk and paper with him. On one of his walks he recorded the contours of this tree with just a few black chalk lines. Once back in his studio, De Gheyn worked up the sketch further with pen and ink.
