Arthur Meltzer

Artist, American, born 1893

The image shows a close-up view of an old, leafless tree. The tree dominates the composition, with its gnarled branches extending outwards in various directions. The brushstrokes are pencil sketches, capturing the texture of the tree's bark and branches. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray against a light background. There are no other elements visible in the drawing.
