Artist, Norwegian, 1863 - 1944

The sketch features a simple landscape viewed from eye-level. Elements include trees, a structure, and the horizon. Two tree trunks are drawn in the foreground with vertical and winding lines. The open area extends towards the horizon with horizontal and curved strokes. The loose and expressive lines suggest a quick, impressionistic technique. The color palette is primarily muted purple on cream paper.
